While Wietse has his word processor open, I'd like to share a few of my
greatest misdirects in my evolving understanding of Postfix.
To quote a like minded individual
I simply want to help others avoid my points of confusion, in the belief I
am not a uniquirely incapable or unintelligent reader.
1) virtual_alias_maps is not only applied to virtual_alias_domains, but
to _all_ domains that Pf receives mail for.
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html is very misleading in
this respect. I really wish I had understood this earlier, it would have
saved a lot of time.
2) macros in main.cf. There is a comment in the default master.cf
https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/blob/master/postfix/conf/master.cf:
# specify "smtpd_<xxx>_restrictions=$mua_<xxx>_restrictions"
# here, and specify mua_<xxx>_restrictions in main.cf (where
# "<xxx>" is "client", "helo", "sender", "relay", or "recipient").
# Instead of specifying complex smtpd_<xxx>_restrictions here,
It took too long to realize that these mua_<xxx>_restrictions are not
builtin names but macro names, invented as required. This ability to
create macros in main.cf should be documented. At the start of the
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html man page is a section on file
syntax. That would seem an appropriate place to document this functionality.
Sean.
