One can refine that to only do local delivery for a specified list of addresses in order to avoid risking in the long term to have local delivery to mailboxes that are never going to be read.
This is what I have (simplified a little bit to not have multiple interfaces etc.) # more /etc/mail/mailname example.com # more /etc/mail/recipients [email protected] [email protected] # grep swa /etc/mail/aliases root: swa swa: [email protected] Note here: the .com instead of the .ccTLD is what I would love to have there, but it’s not achievable with the current limitations of aliases and mailname in opensmtpd AFAIK. # more /etc/mail/smtpd.conf listen on lo0 table aliases db:/etc/mail/aliases.db table recipients file:/etc/mail/recipients accept from local recipient <recipients> alias <aliases> deliver to mbox accept for any relay via smtp://relay.isp.net:25 as “@example.com" This gives you just 2 local email addresses for which aliases will be processed and risk local delivery, and both of those are aliased away fro the machine. The second line allows to to email any other email address in any other domain, including exmaple.com itself, to be sent off to the relay. (the as “@exmaple.com” is not stricly needed anymore I think) It’s easier if you accept that locally originating email is sent from “@machine.example.com” than from “@example.com" What I’d love to see is the ability to write something like: accept from local alias <aliases> relay via smtp://relay.isp.net:25 But that just throws a syntax error … webservers, firewalls, etc. all would benefit from it.
