From: me on 26 Mar 2010 09:13 just signed up and have a novice kind of question, sorry :) I'm reading the docs but somehow can not get the hang of a config, for a local domain(canonical/mydestination) that recipients list would be looked up in ldap postmap queries my ldap, returns no errors, but cannot get whole thing(postfix) to actually work, either errors about: unknown user, or status is 'sent/delivered' but nothing in inbox I know that easier would be to make it virtual, this works, but.. - how to configure postfix to lookup up into ldap for local recipients? - and if yes is it possible to keep mailboxes under one folder, like for vmail? the whole idea is to have these local recipients' mailboxes behaving like virtual, no shell accounts (on a box here postfix runs coupled with dovecot and dovecot does local delivery) regards

"Local recipients" are *by definition* shell accounts, in that information about them is obtained via getpwnam(3) (/etc/passwd and nsswitch.conf). This said, you can use "mailbox_transport" and/or "mailbox_transport_maps" to deliver email to local addresses that may lack an account. See the local(8) manpage for details. > the whole idea is to have these local recipients' mailboxes behaving like > virtual, no shell accounts > (on a box here postfix runs coupled with dovecot and dovecot does local > delivery) You still need a way to validate such accounts, at which point why bother adding the domain to mydestination and calling it "local"? You can just virtual_mailbox_domains much more easily in most cases. -- Viktor. P.S.
