I never found postix accepting user@ip.ad.dr.e.ss. Instead, one can use something like user@dont.know and define a transport like @dont.know smtp:[192.168.2.101]
That's ingenious!
Yep, I saved that post for future reference.
To be honest, I'm not sure the issue is with postfix, per se. I've just tried a few MUAs and they all reject "user@ip.add.re.ss" with a "bad address syntax" message. I suppose you could go into the message buffers of postfix and hand edit a valid address into an IP one.
mailx (CLI) accepts it. It was one of the things I tried before posting here. Postfix refused, I don't remember why, but can find out in the logs if you are interested.
Perhaps, given a MUA that will accept that syntax and hand it to Postfix, we can set up a debug g trace to see how it handles or fails with it under various configs.
But I can't say its a high priority matter given Werner's idea.
After seeing how easy was to setup dnsmasq, I have no more interest in using postfix without dns ;-)
I wanted to, previously, because setting up bind is such a hassle... and because the machine is very low on ram.
Mutt and Postfix accept domain literals. The MTA at my mail handler will not. Setting up a local DNS that is authorative for the local network is a better solution. I spent a lot of time ten years ago trying to do it some other way. Plus the local DNS solution works for SSH, etc. as well as e-mail.
