I think it is more common to have your MTA postfix/sendmail do the translation to aliases, so before you deliver it to lmtp. Maybe test if your MTA is indeed sending the alias sendmail -bv [email protected] [email protected]... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host example.com., user [email protected] Something like this should show the alias. _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
