Add to /etc/postfix/sender-canonical
oakman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In main.cf add
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical
run "postmap sender_canonical" in /etc/postfix, then restart postfix
and all will be resolved.
The sender_canonical file maps local users to email addresses. Postmap
hashes the file so that postfix can read it fast. If you want the
incoming mail to be changed so it all ends up in oakman's mailbox,
then you create a recipient_canonical file.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
postmap sender_canonical
and in main.cf add
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical
Hope this helps.
