I know this is off-topic, but I've run out of ideas (and ways to Google
it), so I'm begging for help here. I've got a postfix mail server on
RHEL 4 that serves up 4 or 5 virtual mail domains. That in itself was
really easy.
My problem stems from the need to setup mail aliases for those domains
to existing virtual accounts. I.e.:
user@xxxxxxxxxxx --virtual mail box
user2@xxxxxxxxxxx is an alias of user1@xxxxxxxxxxx
My problem is I cannot find any documentation that clearly explains how
to do this, if it's actually possible. It's bound to be something
simple, but I'm missing it.
Anybody had to do this before?
Actually, it's not that hard.
What I did was create a file, /etc/postfix/virtusertable, formatted like so:
domain1.org Descriptive Name of domain 1
user1@xxxxxxxxxxx localusername1
user2@xxxxxxxxxxx localusername2
@domain1.org localusernameX (this domain user wished a catch all)
domain2.org Descriptive Name of domain 2
user1@xxxxxxxxxxx localusername
etc, etc.
Next, run "postmap has:/etc/postfix/virtusertable" to create the hash db.
Next, add "virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable" to your
/etc/postfix/main.cf.
Also, make sure you have a file like "/etc/postfix/virtual_domains"
containing the virtual domains, and then add the path to that file in
main.cf as a line looking like:
mydestination = /etc/postfix/virtual_domains.
Alternately, you could list the virtual domains directly on the
"mydestination" line, but I like to keep my main.cf as clean as possible.
Now, "service postfix reload" or "/etc/init.d/postfix reload" to reload
the configuration and bring in the virtual user table and the list of
virtual domains, and voila!!!
This is fine,but I'm not using local users directly. I'm using virtual
mailboxes and virtual domains. I have a customer who owns several
domains and wants individual mailboxes for each domain. So, I have set
everything up for that using /etc/postfix/vmailbox with entries like:
johndoe@xxxxxxxxxxx domain1.org/johndoe/
janedoe@xxxxxxxxxxx domain2.org/janedoe/
so that I do not need to create/manage so many local user accounts. The
problem is how I alias 'jane@xxxxxxxxxxx' to 'janedoe@xxxxxxxxxxx' with
this setup. It's completely eluded me so far.
