I'm following along the docs
http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html
configuring the 1st piece of multi-instance setup, the NULL CLIENT
I installed postfix
postconf -d | grep ^mail_version
mail_version = 2.10.2
and did this
cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
mail_owner = postfix
setgid_group = maildrop
myhostname = mail-new.artemis.lan
mydomain = artemis.lan
myorigin = $mydomain
master_service_disable = inet
mydestination =
local_transport = error:5.1.1 local delivery is disabled
alias_database =
alias_maps =
local_recipient_maps =
relayhost = [mail.artemis.lan]
default_database_type = cdb
indexed = ${default_database_type}:${config_directory}/
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
smtp_generic_maps = ${indexed}generic
virtual_alias_maps = ${indexed}virtual
cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/generic
root hostmaster+root=mta1
cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
root hostmaster
postmaster root
cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/Makefile
MTAADMIN=hostmaster
all: virtual.cdb generic.cdb
generic: Makefile
@echo Creating $@
@rm -f [email protected]
@printf '%s\t%s+root=%s\n' root $MTAADMIN `uname
-n` > [email protected]
@mv [email protected] generic
%.cdb: %
postmap cdb:$<
Then I
cd /usr/local/etc/postfix
make
systemctl restart postfix.service
I notice here that 'generic' has been changed by the Make to
cat virtual
root hostmaster
postmaster root
cat generic
root TAADMIN+root=mail-new <=====================
???
and when I test
sendmail -i -f root -t <<EOF
From: root
To: root
Subject: test
testing
EOF
mail IS sent from this box, and IS received at the other server. But on
the receiving end, the "Return-Path", "From" & "TO" headers are:
Return-Path: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
which just looks ... odd :-/ The "M" in "MTAADMIN" is missing, the To:
should be hostmaster..., ...
My GOAL is to have email from this null client sent, and received as,
From == [email protected]
To == [email protected]
I suspect that this requires fixes/changes to my Makefile. I haven't
figured out its syntax yet, and if I'm doing it right.
What's the right config change to get to my specific goal?
