As most of you probably know by now I have a Postfix server with dspam
which mostly works.
I'm new to postfix and have some questions that hopefully someone here
can help with.
At present, I have postfix configured to use virtual users with the
settings in a MySQL database. The configuration is such that (1) mail to
any user at domain example.com gets (2) forwarded to a [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which (3) gets dropped into a mailbox which (4) is collected via POP3 by
an office server using fetchmail, then (5) separated out into individual
users by the office server.
Everything from (4) needs to remain as is for a range of reasons not
worth going in to here.
The problem is that as things are, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets
forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and downloaded with Postfix's
X-Original-To: set to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED],
completely destroying fetchmail's ability to separate the mail correctly
at stage (5).
My guess is that I need to be aliasing and not forwarding but I'm not
sure at which point in the process that gets set, any hints as to where
I should be looking?
(It also appears that I might be spam checking both before and after the
forward, which is a rather pointless waste of resources, but I might be
wrong on that.)
