Hi, everyone! |
| 2 |
|

My question is not Gentoo related but, well, I'm used to this list so I |
| 4 |
ask here. Please, forgive me the off-topic. |
| 5 |
I decided to try postfix. My question is how do I disable the local |
| 6 |
delivery and use only virtual domains? |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
It seemed to me that the right thing to do is to put |
| 9 |
"myorigin=localhost", "mydestination=localhost" and additionally define |
| 10 |
virtual domain(s). This worked w/o problem until I tried to subscribe to |
| 11 |
gentoo-amd64 list. Then I got bounce from gentoo mail reading that it |
| 12 |
required a real domain name, not "localhost'. |
| 13 |
My first thought was to make mydestination=the.virtual.domain.name but |
| 14 |
it appears to be forbidden. If I have the virtual domain "example.com" I |
| 15 |
can't set "mydestination=example.com". As workaround I put an additional |
| 16 |
name in the DNS and set "mydestination=new-name.example.com". Then the |
| 17 |
bounce from gentoo mail was that my postfix says "550 no such local |
| 18 |
user" - Yeah, right, absolutely correct! The user is xxx@×××××××.com, |
| 19 |
not xxx@××××××××××××××××.com. The only way I found to make things work |
| 20 |
was to create a local user w/ nologin and nohome: |
| 21 |
*useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false xxx* |
| 22 |
and make an alias for him: |
| 23 |
*echo xxx: xxx@×××××××.com >> /etc/mail/aliases* && newaliases && |
| 24 |
postfix reload |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This way is clumsy! Please, advise me how to do it right. |
