I would like opinions on recommended configuration of opensmtpd in scenario with local users via mbox, virtual users on top level domain via lmtp/maildir and the edge case of delivering from top level domain to local user mbox.
Details: server with node name www.example.org local users (root), larry, lisa virtual users <vic...@example.org>, <viv...@example.org> delivered by lmtp to maildir (dovecot) openbsd setup: /etc/mail/aliases: postmaster root /etc/root/.forward to local user larry configuration of /etc/mail/smtpd.conf: table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases table public_users file:/etc/mail/public_users accept from any for domain "example.org" virtual <public_users> deliver to lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox accept from local for any relay With this configuration: from local node, <postmaster> or <postmas...@www.example.org> gets delivered to larry mbox external <postmas...@example.org> won't get delivered at all If I put account postmaster into /etc/mail/public_users then <postmas...@example.org> will go to a lmtp maildir for a virtual postmaster I would prefer for <postmas...@example.org> to get delivered to local user root (then .forward to local user larry mbox) I guess there are many options: - don't bother with postmaster - do the virtual postmaster (with now a separate password, and via IMAP) - insist people send to <postmas...@www.example.org> My essential question: Is there a good way to have <postmas...@example.org> go to a local user mbox? Also: documentation of 'passwd' table On www.opensmtpd.org/faq/example1.html there is the line table passwd passwd:/etc/mail/passwd but in man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf and man.openbsd.org/table there is no documentation of the format/details of 'passwd' table/file dovecot expects a file with similar format to /etc/passwd file (separated by colons, man.openbsd.org/passwd.5 ) Perhaps it should be made explicit in man.openbsd.org/table or man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf that the 'type' of table may be 'passwd' in addition to 'db' and 'file' and specify that it is the same file format as /etc/passwd -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
