Hopefully an easy header rewriting problem for Postfix
I essentially want to rewrite all envelope senders of the form: @host.my.domain to just @my.domain The examples in the Postfix docs seem to make it seem like the patterns only allow you to specify explicit recipients at the end of a rewriting rule, but that's not what I want. I know this was a common thing to do in Sendmail using that hideous CF syntax. Any cluepons would be very much appreciated.

Ah; sorry I misunderstood your aim. I don't like doing this heavy-handed sort of rewriting, but the magic keyword is masquerade. masquerade_classes, masquerade_domains, and masquerade_exceptions give you a number of options. I don't see any way to be quite as sweeping as you're describing, but in my opinion that's a good thing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot for this. Incidentally, the reason why I ran into this problem was because I absolutely cannot get GNU Mailman to stop using host.my.domain in the mail dispatch section (yes, I have modified mm_cfg.py), and this was totally messing up Postfix and causing it to trigger all sorts of spam filtering checks that should not have been invoked. I realized I technically had a hole in my config and I didn't want to have to fix every single client that might send mail through my server.

mail problem, using postfix dovecot
I have my mail system running on my FreeBSD server. It uses postfix outgoing, and dovecot to manage the Imap server, and finally Seamonkey either locally or from one of my other machines, to read/write my mail, it makes for a very portable mail system, but I am now convinced I have one major bug. It's that I'm getting too darn many duplicate mails. I didn't complain when that happened on all the FreeBSD posts, because we have so daarn many people crossposting, it'd be foolish to try to fix that. BUT I just got dupes on some mail from Usenix, and I know Usenix isn't double posting me. Any idea of any common sort of mail mistake I might have made? Mail isn't my real forte, so I might well have bungled something. Any sort of hint, right or wrong, would help, and especially the wrong ones: I'll run them down anyhow, and during that running down, I often find the real error, so don't think I'll jump upon you for stupid suggestions. The only sort of thing I won't try is suggestions to change the basic method I use: I know Imap *can* be made to work, so I won't switch to using something like popmail, I don't want to pop my mail. Other than that, any suggestion will be checked, believe me. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just to narrow down the problem, take a look at the full headers of the duplicate mails and see if the mails are exact copies (i.e. the duplication occurs internally) or are in fact recieved py Postfix twice. Check the mail logs to see what Postfix, Dovecot and whatever else you have in the mix (SpamAssassin? Procmail? Postgrey?) are doing. Also make sure you're not just recieving the extra emails from some address you've set to forward to your normal address.

Your own message was dup'd to me, and I found out what was wrong. When I got back to my apartment finally, from the extended hospital stay, all of my mail subs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] had lapsed from non-receipt. I'd lost my old FreeBSD machine, and while I was still pretty disabled, it took me a long while to get the machine and all the smoking hardware back in service, and when I did, I restarted all my old subs, but because I'd lost the machine, all my old ssh keys went up in smoke, and I now couldn't get back into my freebsd.org login (remember I was a committer) so I was forced to restart my mail fromm my own hosts at chuckr.org. Well, somehow, all the old FreeBSD.org subs kicked back in finally (they must occaisonally test forever, because I was laid up about 6 months). So, all I need to do is to single up my subs. Too bad I couldn't get the new mail application to do what the old majordomo would do (give me the list of all lists a particular login name is subscribed to). So.thanks for kicking me into doing that testing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
