Hey guys,
I've emailed the postfix-users list with this, and really haven't gotten
any replies, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I see
there's a lot of people good with this kinda stuff (Craig, Russ, and so
on) :)
I'm using the Cyrus-IMAPd 2.0.15-HIERSEP release. Reason I mention this
is because with this release, it is possible to use a '.' as a valid
part of a user name.
So, I log into cyradm as an admin from /etc/imapd.conf and "localhost>
cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]" (Note, I have no affiliation with WPI other
than attending the school. The email admins there are big sendmail
buffs. Just doing this as an illustration) and the mailbox
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is created (in reality, it's "kmenard@wpi^edu", in
order to preserve on-disk structure).
Now, I want to set up postfix to query my OpenLDAP 2.0.11 server, and
get all the info it needs. I'm using the misc.schema file that comes
with openldap, which I believe is based off of
http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt.
Most of the postfix docs with ldap, including the LDAP_README, use the
"maildrop" and "mailacceptinggeneralid" attributes. I use the
"mailLocalAddress" and "mailRoutingAddress" attributes.
So, now my question is, how do I receive mail and then forward it to the
mailbox by the same name?
I was thinking have a mailLocalAddress: wpi.edu (to notify postfix of
the virtual domain) and a mailLocalAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (to notify
it of the email address), and then a mailRoutingAddress:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@localhost. Alas, I am running into some difficulties.
Is this even possible? Or do I need to change my nomenclature from
cyrus mailboxes such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] to something like
kmenard.wpi.edu. I've been recommended to do the latter, but I prefer
the former, and want to know if it's possible.
As usual, thanks for the help in advance.
PS -- Following recent discussion, would it be recommended to use a
ReiserFS for an entire server? In this case, following my thread on
partition schemes, a / and a /home partition. Thanks again.
