I've been running several OpenSMPTD servers on OpenBSD for a while now
without using the /etc/aliases file.
I'm having issues however with annoying email being generated from the
[email protected] and [email protected] addresses which get
stuck in the delivery queue because I don't have the systems configured to
accept email at the mx.domain.tld subdomain.
Maybe this is more of a question for the OpenBSD list, but I'm wondering
if in this day and age, the '/etc/aliases' file is really just a dumb
clunky sendmail throwback that needs to die in a fire and is unnecessary
on modern OpenBSD/OpenSMTPD systems.
If it's not necessary, is there anyway that I can force all system email
generated for the root user to go to a designated email of my choosing,
without having to use /etc/aliases and add the corresponding table and
accept lines in smptd.conf? I can edit the cron /etc/daily|weekly|monthly
scripts but that does not seem to address the smtpd daemon generated error
messages.
Curious to know how other OpenSMTPD users address 'the aliases' question.
