I'm upgrading my company's mail system which is working like that for years... > You send mail to the machine that holds the destination mailbox. > Mailstores never send mail to each other. > > You should also be aware of the fact that such a setup is fully > dependent on the mail gateway; if that goes down, you have no mail > system left. Indeed, but the mail gateway is actually made of 2 virtual machines for load balancing/failover, to avoid that kind of problem. > > First I tried to make the server act like if the mailbox didn't exist on > > the local server (with SQL where) thinking that if it doesn't exist > > here, the mail will be relayed to the 'relay_host', but getting "User > > unknown in virtual mailbox table". > > It is not working better with "relay_domains" directive, because it is > > already set in "virtual_mailbox_domains" one. > > That won't work. > You say you have user data in a SQL table; then use that to determine > which backend should get what. > transport_maps would work fine for this. > > > I red the all nearly all documentation I found, especially the official > > one, but I'm missing some details. > > Yes; first and foremost, you're missing the transport(5) man page: > http://www.postfix.org/transport.5.html Well, I already read that manpage several times, but I'm lacking some Postfix fundamentals... Anyway, thanks Jeroen for your answer. It is quite blur to me but I think you suggest me to create 2 different sort of transport : - One would be an "alias" to virtual delivery if the query says the user is local - The second would forward mail to remote users using the smtp delivery Correct me if I'm wrong :)
