From: JC Putter on 13 Jun 2010 14:03 hi everyone, i have a postfix (2.3.3) server running with fetchmail to retrieve mail from the actual mailserver, the problem is that only the office users get their my from the local postfix/fetchmail server, the remote users connect to the actual internet mailserver, the office users can send mail to the remote users (user does not exist...) (i understand why). is it possible to configure postfix to relay mail to the domain mx if it cant find the users on the system? thank you.

I'll bluntly point you to local(8) and the fallback_transport_maps, fallback_transport, and luser_relay parameters. Check the docs if these help. Also note that list traffic should be answered on the list. If your mailer doesn't have a list reply button, get a better mailer or for the nonce use reply to all. Redirecting to the list. -- Matthias Andree

(i understand why). > is that a "can" or "can't"? because you say "can" yet you say "user does not exist". if there's a problem, please follow the list welcome recommendation: - explain the problem. state this as simply as possible. prefer short and clear sentences (avoid "litterature"...). - show you 'postconf -n'. > is it possible to configure postfix to relay mail to the domain mx if > it cant find the users on the system? depends on the situation... there's no magic bullet that works for every situation. one way that works is to list the users that are "local". this can be done with virtual_alias_maps. joe(a)example.com joe(a)localhost.example jim(a)example.com jim(a)localhost.example and list example.com as a relay domain. ... etc. |
