Ok let's try this again. As a few people on this list have politely
indicated, you *DO* have virtual_alias_domains set unless you
explicitly unset it in main.cf. See the default value for further
enlightenment.
Yes, you obviously missed the smilie at the end.
But to be pedantic, I do *not* have virtual_alias_domains set at all,
and it does not show up in postconf -n because I've never changed its
default value ($virtual_alias_maps). From ADDRESS_CLASS_README
For backwards compatibility with Postfix version 1.1, the new
virtual_alias_maps parameter defaults to $virtual_maps, and the new
virtual_alias_domains parameter defaults to $virtual_alias_maps.
% postconf -n | grep "^virtual"
virtual_alias_maps = hash:$config_directory/virtual, pcre:
$config_directory/virtual.pcre, mysql:$config_directory/
mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_gid_maps = static:89
virtual_mailbox_base = /usr/local/virtual
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:$config_directory/
mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:$config_directory/
mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
virtual_minimum_uid = 89
virtual_transport = procmail
virtual_uid_maps = static:89
If you're saying that I don't understand why I would have a different
virtual_alias_domains value to the existing virtual_alias_maps, then
you're right. virtual_alias_domains appears to be an alternate way of
listing the domains that I would list in the $config_directory/virtual
file. WHY you would do it this way I have no idea. I suppose if you
had virtual domains that were not in mysql... even then, not sure what
the advantage would be.
Could I simply change my virtual_alias_maps definition above to
virtual_alias_domains? I don't think so. At least how this is setup,
the mysql_virtual_alias.maps.cf returns the alias (forwarding alias)
of accounts that have an alias set in postfix admin, which is (at
least technically) what hash:($config_directory/virtual returns as well.
The actual problem was one of simple memory failure. I forgot that ALL
of southgaylord.com was setup at a virtual domain and that two
specific email addresses then pointed back to local users via aliases
defined in postfixadmin. When I tried to add back southgaylord.com
into $config_directory/virtual then everything failed because I was
showing the same domain in two disparate locations. Once I figured out
what I'd done previously, I was then able to restore everything to the
way it was.
This never had anything at all to do with virtual_alias_domains versus
virtual_alias_maps, though it *was* a logical place to look.
