Hello all, I'm setting up Postfix 2.6, speculatively, reading through the documentation and building my configuration. It appears that the scenario I want is somewhere between virtual and local deliveries.
What I want to do: .forward support, /etc/aliases support, detail address (user-foo) support. What I do not want: mail being delivered or accepted to bin, daemon, and other nonsense. The machine is only serving me and my services, all implemented as aliases. My alias is not equal to my username, which itself doesn't get mail and doesn't want it, thank you very much. Therefore, everything is an alias, there will never be, and I don't want, deliveries for non-alias or non-.forward-style deliveries referenced through an alias. Can somebody explain if there is some right way to do this? Am I even thinking along the right lines? Perhaps I should implement this another way. Right now I would be using local(8) and access restrictions to prevent accepting mail for anything not configured in /etc/aliases, but this is somewhat awkward because it means maintaining two separate tables. Cheers, Sabahattin
