Hi,
Thanks for your clear reply, that really helps!
One last question: How should I configure local_recipient_maps?
Noel said:
local_recipient_maps =
An empty local_recipient_maps will cause your postfix to accept mail
for undeliverable local address, then attempt to bounce them. This
will clog your queue with undeliverable bounces and get you blacklisted.
I am running a mailing list server Listserv for which all available
addresses are defined in /etc/aliases
And also a mailman server using /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
I also use a limited number of virtual mailboxes, using a mysql databases
containing a table for mailboxes and a table for aliases, and local
maildir storage
I don't want to deliver mail to local system accounts
So I thought I had to use the following:
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_alias_maps
Which works
But if I use
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps
then mail to the virtual mailboxes is still delivered...
In addition, if I use
local_recipient_maps =
then the server will not accept mail for non-existing adresses, which
seems to contradict Noel's warning:
550 5.1.1 <nonexisting@my.domain>: Recipient address rejected: User
unknown in local recipient table
So I don't really understand how this setting works...
Thanks!
Lucas
