The exciting quest to Postfix continues... Tonight's question is about virtual canonical domains (the term is obviously coined by me since there are no Google hits with it before this post gets indexed ;). I have currently (for clarity's sake while I'm learning the system) defined virtual_mailbox_domains, virtual_mailbox_maps, virtual_alias_domains, and _virtual_alias_maps as individual files:
The mentioned domains are obviously internal.. #virtual_alias_domains: thirddomain.com 20081114 fourthdomain.com 20081115 #virtual_mailbox_domains: someotherdomain.com 20081115 #virtual_alias_maps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] @thirddomain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] #virtual_mailbox_maps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] someotherdomain.com/info/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] someotherdomain.com/test1/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] someotherdomain.com/test2/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] someotherdomain.com/test3/ -- What I'd like to accomplish is to create a new virtual domain that mirrors the logins of an existing domain without a catch-all. In my example above the domain fourthdomain.com has been defined as a virtual alias domain, but how do I enable it to receive email for the exact same email accounts as those of someotherdomain.com (i.e. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "test1fourthdomain.com", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")? Perhaps I have to create all corresponding aliases for fourthdomain.com? Or is there a simpler way? In the production environment I'm working on to set up there are about a dozen domains with about 20 identical accounts so that a given username receives email with all those dozen domain names. If I can create virtual canonical domains, I could create the accounts once and alias the rest of the domains as opposed to creating 20 accounts and about 220 redirect aliases. Perhaps this could be accomplished with check_recipient_access using PCRE table that would have a IF.. REDIRECT ..ENDIF clause for each address... or maybe there's a really simple way to do it (for why I ask before I try anything else). I'm thinking along the lines of the "virtualdomains" control file in qmail where it is possible assign multiple domain names to a mailbox user which in turn automatically aliases all 'attached' domains to the virtual user accounts defined for that virtual domain. Thank you all for help, again!! :) Ville
