Hi Gary, I'm also using aliases with Samba4. just add as much "otherMail" entries you need to the account. I'm doing it via ldbedit: ldbedit -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb '(sAMAccountName=username)' then just add "otherMail: em...@alias.tld" (without quotes) and save it. For Postfix I've added an extra query to main.cf: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_groups, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_users and the corresponding ldap queries looks like that (ensure you've installed the postfix-ldap package): server_host = samba4-address search_base = dc=domain,dc=local version = 3 bind = yes bind_dn = cn=LDAP Service,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=local bind_pw = secretpassword scope = sub query_filter = (&(objectclass=user)(otherMailbox=%s)) result_attribute = mail you can test your aliases with postmap: postmap -q alias@foo.local ldap://etc/postfix/ldap_users this should show you the "real"/main adress which will be used for delivery. btw: the group query looks similar to the user query, but with some settings: query_filter = (&(objectclass=group)(|(mail=%s)(otherMailbox=%s))) leaf_result_attribute = mail special_result_attribute = member I am using this configuration on lots of servers and it's working flawlessy. Hope that helps a bit... Regards Peter -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
