Hi,

Postfix isn't the right thing for that. It's a mail
server, not a mail client. You'll need to investigate
the documentation for the mail client that you use when
reading and sending mail.

For example, with mutt, you can give it a list of all
of your email addresses with an "alternates" directive,
and it knows not to include alternates in the recipient
list when you reply to all. Other mail clients probably
have similar functionality.

Another alternative that could involve postfix slightly
it to tell postfix to use something like procmail when
delivering local mail (or use something like imapfilter),
and filter incoming mail through a script that performs
the transformation you want on the email before you see it.
But that's fiddly, requires writing code that munges your
email, so it requires great courage and/or foolhardiness.
I'd do something like this if I didn't already use mutt,
but I wouldn't recommend it.

Looking for a solution in your mail client is much better.

Also, if your mail client launches a highly
configurable text editor for composing the reply, you
can probably configure the editor to automatically
remove and/or replace the addresses before you start
typing the reply.

cheers,

OK, thank you very much. You just saved me hours of feeling defeated and dejected trying to figure out how I might get it to work. :)

I'm using Roundcube which doesn't strike me as a power user's mail client but I may be able to do a quick hack the PHP or maybe even write a plugin to make this happen. A project for another time.
