RE: [SLE] Handling unknown users in Email Server II
Wilson, It runs postfix. There are two setup pages, one of which has about 100 parameters that can be set for more advanced features. Possibly this is one of them? If you happen to know what parameter would make this work, then I'll look for it inside the tool.

Hi, I can't find any documentation on the web site or in the manual. In SuSE Email Server II, what happens to mail for unknown users? (I.e. - user1@domain.com, where domain.com is being received by Email Server II, but user1 is not defined.)
Does Email Server II run postfix or sendmail? it's probably bouncing but you should be able to fix it by hand.
Does it bounce? Can I set up a collection basket for all email sent to the domain that doesn't have a specific matching user account?
Yes but I need to know what it's using as an MTA.... ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
First a disclaimer: I have never used Email Server II nor any utility to set up email. I edit my email config files by hand. Make backups in case this blows up your system. At 09:55 AM 5/9/2001 -0700, you wrote:

Goody :-)

Wheew! No idea..........
If you happen to know what parameter would make this work, then I'll look for it inside the tool. I use virtual hosts:
[root@csc003 /root]# cd /etc/postfix/ [root@csc003 postfix]# grep "virtual" main.cf <snip> virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual [root@csc003 postfix]# grep "^@" virtual @centraltexasit.com jw.centexit.com [root@csc003 postfix]# grep "jw.centex" virtual @centraltexasit.com jw.centexit.com jw@centexit.com jw.centextit.com Ok so if you have virtual_maps set, and assuming it's set to /etc/postfix/virtual, add a line to that file that looks like the one about that starts with "@". If you're using hash: then don't forget to run postmap /etc/postifx/virtual to create a new virtual.db file. Then put the appropriate entry in /etc/postfix/aliases (actually in SuSE it's /etc/aliases) something like follows: [root@csc003 postfix]# grep "jw.centexit" aliases jw.centexit.com: /var/spool/virtual/centexit.com/jw Don't forget to make sure and use the correct path. Instead of a path you can also forward to another account: jw.centexit.com: wilson@claborn.net or to a local user: jw.centexit.com: root When you're done make the new hash file: [root@csc003 postfix]# postalias /etc/postfix/aliases And reload postfix: [root@csc003 postfix]# /etc/init.d/postfix reload postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system [root@csc003 postfix]# And then test it. I hope that works. Gone for lunch........... ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com
