[Dovecot] auto Cc: with dovecot+mysql
hi, i'm migrating 1 mail-server from LDAP+postfix+courier to mysql+postfixadmin+dovecot, on a debian etch machine i have followed this howto : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL (changed uid and gid for usage in debian, the SVN-postfixadmin didn't work for me, so i used the stable version, and haven't tested the SASL-part yet) this works great, except the LDAP+postfix setup has for some users an automatic Cc: say, for example, 1 user, with email-address [EMAIL PROTECTED], will also have all the emails going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so far i have failed to find out whether this can be done with postfix in that setup, following above mentioned howto (postfixadmin can do aliases, but not "auto Cc: for virtual domains afaik) can this be done by dovecot LDA maybe ? or ... can i have a dovecot.conf where certain users use LDAP instead of mysql for lookups and those kind of preferences ? grtz, albi
