By way of contrast, I was once a postmaster for ~80,000 users. The primary email address domain was a "virtual alias" domain, with resolution to multiple backend mailstore addresses via LDAP. Noel's point upthread was that recipient validation should in most cases not be disabled. Instead of clearing "local_recipient_maps", if the domain is a local domain (mydestination), then the valid users should be listed in "local_recipient_maps", either by virtue of being system users, or by being listed in some ancillary table (typically $alias_maps is sufficient). Except on the submission ports, it is much better to reject than to accept and bounce. -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
