Hi Guys,
I'm trying to replace an old Sun 5.8 box running Sendmail 8.12.x with
a newer RHEL 6 box running Postfix 2.6.6, which I know is unsupported
and I should upgrade. But it's what comes from RedHat and it's what
I'm working with right now.
Anyway, I'm going nuts trying to make my crazy environment work
properly due to (possibly) conflicting requirements.
1. It's the outgoing mail server for the domain foo.bar.com (and
legacy foo.com). So it needs to masquerade @host.foo.bar.com into
@foo.bar.com like usual.
1a. We also want to have it handle outgoing email for first.l...@other.com and
look lookups on how to rewrite envelope and message addresses into
first.l...@foo.bar.com.
2. It also handles incoming mail from our external spam filter:
- looks at NIS aliases for where to forward email:
- exchange (exmail1.foo.bar.com)
- mailman (mailman.foo.bar.com)
- un-recognized email gets forwarded to lotus notes server
(hdqmta.foo.bar.com).
There's no local delivery wanted or needed, it should all be looked up
in aliases and forwarded to the correct internal host.
I've asked before for help on how I can do lookups using ldap against
Lotus Notes, because they have a million aliases on there, but no
complete standard. Since the existing sendmail setup works just fine,
they don't want to make changes on their end.
So right now I have most of it working, but it's re-writing too
aggresively on the headers. So when it does the fallback_transport to
hdqmta, it (seems!) to be not updating the address... now that I think
of it, maybe that's the problem!!!!!!
Question:
Can I force the fallback_transport to re-write, before using the
fallback, john.t...@foo.bar.com into john.t...@hdqmta.foo.bar.com?
Since I think that's the problem?
All I have in my legacy, ancient, crappy sendmail.cf is:
DLhdqmta.foo.bar.com
Here's my postconf -n output, semi-sanitized. Can someone tell me
what I'm doing wrong and how I can achieve my aims? Do I need to have
two seperate postfix instances setup, one to handle the rewriting from
option 1a, with the other to do the rest?
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = nis:mail.aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
fallback_transport = smtp:[hdqmta.foo.bar.com]
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = all
local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all
local_recipient_maps =
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
masquerade_domains = !exmail1.foo.bar.com !hdqmta.foo.bar.com
$myorigin
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
$mydomain, foo.com
mydomain = foo.bar.com
myhostname = mailhost.foo.bar.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 209.243.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
relay_domains = $mydestination
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport_maps
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
I'm about to throw in the towel here and try to move to sendmail using
a completely new and updated setup, but that's a horror show in many
ways.
THanks,
John
