So you have an application that sends email to "User A" which resides
locally and hence postfix delivers as such, locally correct?
If you want to rewrite an email/destination, use the virtual alias table
file. Man that or open the /etc/postfix/virtual file and read (postmap it
after).
On many systems I have, I do the following:
1. Comment out 'local' in master.cf:
#local unix - n n - - local
and disable local delivery by editing main.cf to set mydestination equal nothing:
mydestination =
2. Edit /etc/postfix/virtual to set:
root jcasale@xxxxxxxxxxx
3. Edit main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
local_transport = error:local mail delivery is disabled.
4. Postmap the /etc/postfix/virtual file.
I don't know enough about your setup, but I presume if it's one email
you want to redirect, simply do steps 2,3 (not the local_transport part) and 4
while performing the edit on 2 applicably.
You also need to ensure the internet facing side of this server allows smtp
outbound and that your server has adequate name resolution. You can use a smart host
if you need, post some more detailed info for a less general/possibly wrong
answer.
