Does anyone who uses Postfix perform local mail redirection to a central mail hub? If yes, can you suggest what settings you use?
Specifically, I'm interested in this scenario: By default each NetBSD install is configured to deliver local mail to /var/mail. Most of it is daily/weekly scripts, uptime and performance metrics, etc. I would like to change that and instead redirect all local mail from multiple machines to a central mail hub. There is a specific account, e.g. [email protected] which receives such mail and monitors any issues on a daily basis. The problem is, sending mail to this account requires SASL authentication. I've been looking at Postfix SASL documentation and it looks like it may be possible to make it work with "smtp_sasl_password_maps = ..." in main.cf. Has anyone done this before? Is this a good way to consolidate local mail from different machines or is there something better? I was thinking of copying logs via ssh to a central storage, but email may work better with multiple admin people monitoring from different devices, e.g. laptop, desktop, phone, etc. All that is required is an IMAP client on each device. PS. I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me if you decide to reply.
