Hi, Recently I have created a postfix driven (CentOS 8) mail server with dovecot-lda as local delivery agent. We have a few number of users who make use of vacation program (when they are on leave) so that upon activation, a .forward file is made under the home directory as:
\username, "|/usr/bin/vacation username" In the past, sendmail played well when handling "\username". But it comes to my attention that under postfix, it does not seem to honor backslash username which results in mail looping under the postfix server itself. I have taken a look at some historical discussion, and some were talking about \username is not honored under aliases setting. I would like to know if \username is also not honored under users' .forward files. Thanks. Dominic -- Dominic Lai Department of Computer Science and Engineering HKUST
