Hi all, Firstly, as an update, I removed my default domain redirection from virtual, and now I am not getting my mail. I finially bit the bullet and replaced sendmail with postfix.. firstly, good news, it talks to perl scripts exactly as sendmail does, meaning that I have not had to change any of the scritps to suit... I am having some config woes though, and I was wondering if someone could perhaps set me straight here.. (if you want to skip my problems bit and go to my questions,, they are at the end of the email) First my setup.. My box collects mail for several domains,, the default domain we will call: defaultdomain.com.au (its also the domain the box runs as.) That domains mail is sent to various accounts, some local, and some not. for example, I want to set mine up, so that all email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets redirected to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] then email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on... So I have added this to main.cf ============================================== #A List of ALL IP's listening on this machine. mynetworks=92.168.0.0/24,127.0.0.0/8,139.138.175.159,203.59.14.65,203.59.14. 66,203.59.14.67,203.59.14.68,203.59.14.69,203.59.13.70,203.59.14.71,203.58.1 4.72, #Set the path to the canonical map. canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical masquerade_domains = $mydomain masquerade_exceptions = root #Set the path for the virtual map. virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual empty_address_recipient = postmaster@$mydomain ============================================== THEN, in canonical, I added the following.. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Question 1. do I need to also reference this in virtual? I have at present, and it works... sortoff. but I don't know if I should have. The other domains for arguements sake, lets call them: domain1.com.au domain2.com.au domain3.com.au domain4.com.au (all of these have IP's I added in mynetworks in main.cf) so in /postfix/virtual I added the following: ============================================ defaultdomain.com.au anything(apparently the right side txt is irrelivant.) domain1.com.au anything domain2.com.au anything domain3.com.au anything domain4.com.au anything #Then I added the actual redirection stuff. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] #Then I added a rule to send all email to that domain that didn't match the above two, be sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @domain1.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] #now send all mail to domain2.com.au to a local account called glass. @domain2.com.au glass # Now direct my mail for the default domain to my own dialup account [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on.... I also have my redirection added to canconical like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] As I wasn't sure where I should set that up.... The result??? I am getting my mail fine.. through some weird quirk of fate... however... I am geting the following errors.. in /var/log/mail/errors I get this: Jul 19 11:38:06 mail postfix/master[671]: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: defaultdomain.com.au in /var/log/mail/info I am getting alot of these: Jul 18 22:20:31 mail postfix/smtp[1557]: D9783957: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=4, status=bounced (mail for defaultdomain.com.au loops back to myself) In info I am also getting heaps of rejects for all the virtual domains.... with messages like user unknown... So, to cut a long story not so long, what I am asking is summarised here... 1. how do I make sure that postfix is listing on all my ip's local or otherwise. 2. How to I do local user redirection to non local mailbox's. 3. How do I redirect mail to a specific user of one of the virtual domains to a non local mailbox, and then send all mail to that virtual domain to another non local account. 4. How do I stop "mail loops back to itself messages?? 5. IS there a GUI tool for postfix config other then Webmin? (webmin is ok for basic stuff, but isn't as detailed by far as the sendmail webmin config tool.) Any help would be much appreciated... kindest regards Frank
