This would appear to be the sticking point. The aliases file doesn't
generate fully-qualified Email addresses, only local parts. How do I
ensure that a message to annou...@foo.com doesn't go to
annou...@bar.org? This must be doable, because if it's not, then this
defeats the whole point of doing this in the first place.
Presumably I need to do this in postfix/main.cf somehow but I'm at a
loss as to how to do this.
Not sure if this will help you or not, but I'll share anywhere ...
I have a multi setup for mailman to host multiple domains. All my
list domains are configured as 'lists.$domain', for example
'lists.yeehaw.net'. My mailman installations all go under
/home/mailman/lists.$domain
I don't know how this is done in postfix, but in sendmail I have the
following:
=====> /etc/mail/aliases/$domain-aliases
mailman-lists.$domain \
"|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin-lists.$domain: \
"|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces-lists.$domain: \
"|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm-lists.$domain: \
"|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman confirm mailman"
=====> /etc/mail/virtusertable
mail...@lists.$domain mailman-lists.$domain
mailman-ad...@lists.$domain mailman-admin-lists.$domain
mailman-boun...@lists.$domain mailman-bounces-lists.$domain
mailman-conf...@lists.$domain mailman-confirm-lists.$domain
This ensures that an incoming e-mail to say for example
'mailman-ad...@lists.$domain' gets rerouted to
'mailman-admin-lists.$domain' which the alias then expands in to
'"|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman admin mailman"'
This allows one to have various mailman@'various domains' going to
the same server through the same MTA without it going nutso.
Now you may be wondering why I renamed the 'mailman' binary to
'$domain-mailman'. That's because of permissions within sendmail. Any
binary that is going to be sending stuff out needs to be allowed by
sendmail, and since I have multiple installations of mailman, in
different paths, you can't just tell sendmail it's called 'mailman'. It
will get utterly confused when the various lists are trying to send
something out. So, by renaming each one to their respective $domain, it
keeps sendmail from going bonkers.
In my /usr/adm/sm.bin/ I have various symlinks to $domain-mailman
which link back to /home/mailman/lists-$domain/mail/$domain-mailman
Cheers
