I need a list of all email users on my system (there are hundreds of them).
The list could be extracted from /etc/aliases and the virtusertable.
Does anyone know of a script that would do this automatically? It would have
to
- exclude commented-out lines (of course)
and exclude "continuation" lines (lines starting with spaces).
- exclude duplicates
- produce a list of usernames (or maybe unresolved email addresses for some
users) separated by a comma
why comma? isn't LF better (one user per line)?
I imagine perl would be the way to go. I haven't used perl at all myself.
you could start with something like
getkey()
{
files=$*
for file in $files; do
sed -e '/^[\# ]/d' -e '/^$/d' $file | \
awk -F'[: ]' '{print $1}'
done
}
getkey /etc/aliases /etc/passwd | sort|uniq > users.local
getkey yourvirtualmap > users.virtual
If you want a list of all valid email addresses, you need to append the
domains in mydestination to users.local.

I have a routine that pulls addresses from all the aliases files defined in the postfix main.cf file, and gets all non-admin accounts from /etc/passwd, combining the two to get all valid user names. It then gets all the domains from the postfix mydestination, combining the user names with these domains to build a large virtual file for a border MX server that has no users to allow it to validate incoming mail. This have been working nicely for several years at an ISP with about 10,000 e-mail accounts. The border MX server does preliminary IP based anti-spam and uses amavisd and clamav to scan for phishing and worms that attack the Microsoft virus, Windows, but does no spam checking. It then sends messages that pass amavisd to a cluster of servers that do spamassassin checking, and delivery to NFS mounted Maildir stores.

And (I forgot to say that) - it weeds out users with a ":" in their mail
address, which is completely valid. So you should check that also.

Thanks, that looks neat, and works.
For real-world use, I guess the source files (in my case aliases,
virtusertable) should be prepared first - the list will include unwanted
users like "bin" or "mysql", mailing list name defined in virtusertable, and
possibly other strange things too.

[CentOS] [OT] List of all email users
This is not CentOS-specific, hence OT. I need a list of all email users on my system (there are hundreds of them). The list could be extracted from /etc/aliases and the virtusertable. Does anyone know of a script that would do this automatically? It would have to - exclude commented-out lines (of course) - exclude duplicates - produce a list of usernames (or maybe unresolved email addresses for some users) separated by a comma I imagine perl would be the way to go.
