So that would already work if you didn't put the @ in the alias, and it would also work with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses. If you need to save the @ in the alias for whatever reason, you could probably even make the lookup query cut it out for you (use mysql's substr_index() or something), which may not be a cross-database compatible call, but we're talking mta config, not dbmail code, so that's fine. ---- Original Message ---- From: Aaron Stone <dbmail-dev@dbmail.org> To: "DBMAIL Developers Mailinglist" <dbmail-dev@dbmail.org> Subject: Re: [Dbmail-dev] [DBMail 0000105]: Global addresses needed Sent: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 22:18:00 -0000 > The issue is that you have Postfix pre-checking the addresses against the > database, and only if they exist does Postfix pass the message to DBMail > for delivery? > > If that's the case, perhaps we can extend Postfix with the same address > and domain logic?
