Hello:
I have had virtual aliases and mailboxes working well for years. I have
always had a separated virtual_*_domains and virtual_*_maps file. Now I
am combining them to make administration easier.
For virtual aliases, I simply commented out the virtual_alias_domains
directive in the main.cf file. Since it defaults to virtual_alias_maps,
everything works. I tested by adding the following line:
br...@junk.schang.net brian
... Everything works. :-)
For virtual mailboxes, I did the same. It's my understanding that
virtual_mailbox_domains defaults to virtual_mailbox_maps. However it
didn't work as I expected. When I add the following line:
br...@junk2.schang.net brian_mail/somefile
... I get a domain not found error.
However if I add another line:
junk2.schang.net 1
... Everything works. :-)
Actually the behavior for virtual mailboxes is what I expected -- the
need to have the domain defined on the left-hand-side of the lookup. I
was surprised that the virtual alias didn't require that.
So that's my question: why does a virtual mailbox domain need to be
explicitly defined on the LHS of virtual_mailbox_maps, while a virtual
alias domain works without the domain defined on the LHS of
virtual_alias_maps?
Thank you.
