distribution issues with Postfix

2010-07-07 Thread Phil Howard
I am finally putting together a test mail server (something I wish I had when putting together the first mail server, but lack of hardware due to lack of funding flow limited that). But now I have another machine. But I am still seeing all the issues I had before with Ubuntu. At first I tried to

where to put domain name that's only it virtual map

I've added a domain name which has email addresses that are only in the virtual map. There are no real mailboxes over on Dovecot (via transport) for this one.

For some of the smtpd restrictions I would like to merely tag a message instead of outright reject it. It would be either delivered as usual with the tagging in place for the client or user agent to check for, or be used to deliver the mail to a special folder. If the tagging is done by adding "+
