Listmates, Sandy,

Where do I tell postfix to deliver mail for a user to localhost and deliver a copy to user@machine2.com? It has to be easy, -- I hope.

I tend to use procmail in such case and setup a rule to forward the message to another address. This can easily be done by the user themselves in the local .procmailrc file.

Alternatively the .forward file in the user account can be used.

Another (and possibly the simplest option) is to define an alias in the /etc/aliases file adding a similar line

user: user@machine2.com, \user

Regards,

Thanks Marcin, The tough part was I wanted a 'copy' forwarded to another box, not just a plain forward. Procmail was the answer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Not necessarily. I would do this in virtual_alias_maps.

/etc/postfix/virtual: user@example.com user@example.com, user@machine2.com

Hmm. Sandy, I am trying to implement the /etc/postfix/virtual solution you suggested, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is what I did. (1) edit /etc/postfix/virtual, and added me_at_rbpllc.com me_at_rbpllc.com, me_at_trinity.rbpllc.com (2) postmap hash:/etc/postfix/virtual (3) rcpostfix reload (4) disabled the .procmailrc solution (5) sent mail to me_at_rbpllc.com Mail arrives at rbpllc.com and is delivered to rbpllc.com by NOT to trinity.rbpllc.com? Can you offer any suggestions or point out where I screwed up? It just goes to show I can screw up the simple ones... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Sandy,

For some reason there are strange greeting errors between the boxes using the virtual solution:

Jan 25 21:29:43 bonza postfix/smtp[11264]: 5FF1026D838: to=, orig_to=, relay=trinity.rbpllc.com[192.168.7.17]:25, delay=1236, delays=935/0.02/300/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with trinity.rbpllc.com[192.168.7.17] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting)

an 25 21:14:43 bonza postfix/error[11182]: 5FF1026D838: to=, orig_to= relay=none, delay=335, delays=335/0.02/0/0.03, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: conversation with trinity.rbpllc.com[192.168.7.17] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting)

Huh?

I tried increasing smtp_connect_timeout = 60s, but that didn't help either. Any help?

I think I'm on the right track. I believe I've screwed up my virtual_alias_domain, I'm checking it out. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Have you tried a simple "telnet 192.168.7.17 25" to see if the smtp banner of the site appears? Is this really the correct address, it is a private ip, after all. -- Sandy List replies only please!

Also, I see recipes that use just ':0' and others that use ':0:', is there a difference? Is one more correct?

the trailing ":" is a lock. I use mbox which requires file lock.

Deliver it locally, and then use NFS so that both machines can read the incoming mail spool. And then set up a POP (Post Office Protocol) server, which will coerce them into removing their messages from the mail machine (advise them to set up their mail agent to use the "remove mail from server" option).

Guys? Please have a look at the first quoted line. It was supposed to be "simple". Installing and maintaining additional unnecessary services, wenn one config line in an already running service is sufficient, seems horribly inefficient.

Sandy, Check out /etc/aliases. I have a server with a pseudo-user account called "articles" and a number of real users who want to receive mail addressed to articles@my.server.address. The following line in /etc/aliases makes postfix deliver a copy of any message to articles@my.server.address to the addresses user and all users in the include file: articles: :include:/etc/articles.users,\articles It isn't necessary to use the :include method. For example, joe: sam@another.host.org,joe@home.system.com,\joe would deliver one arriving message to two external addresses plus the local mailbox for joe.

There's not a heck of a lot more to setting up an imap server than pop. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
