routing all mails to customized processor, without individual mail directory

Hi there, We are intergrating Postfix with a J2EE backend, where all user accounts and configuration are in J2EE layer with database. Because of this architecture, we do not want to having to maintain individual user mail directory, or user account. In other words, if we add a new email addres

control error behavior, into deferred queue instead of rejected

Hi there, I implemented my own mail processor (Java program processing mails), and defined my transport for that. The problem is if my Java program throws an exception, the mail is rejected and back to the sender. What I want is for it to go to the deferred queue. How can I do that? Either dir

Postfix/LDAP beginner question

Hi there, I am using Postfix 2.4.3. As my first step to integrate with Postfix, I wish to look up LDAP for local user. I did not recompile Postfix because I thought it comes with LDAP support. My ldap log does show that Postfix is trying to look up, so I think it is fine there. main.cf reads li

Postfix integration: Oracle or LDAP?

one Postfix instance serving messages in two different directions

Can you elaborate how different smtpd can have different transport settings? I won't want to create my own SMTPD process. The following won't work, because the "transport" cannot distinguish IP address. I tried this but does not work. I wonder if only smtp process can vary based on different IP.
