Yeah postfix has sql support but it's not built into the debian package. So you have to build your own package. Postfix also has ldap support. -- Jeremy Lunn Melbourne, Australia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In this way, increasing the size of the aliases file shouldn't greatly effect lookup times. If you are worried about management rather than performance issues, then you can arrange your aliases into separate files and have them concatenated together. An aliases file for non-existent users, an aliases file for adminastrative purpoese, an aliases file for mailing lists etc... Either way, problem solved. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have started using /etc/aliases to do this and it's working nicely. What I'm worried about is /etc/alias getting really big because of having a large list of forwarding addresses. Not this is a problem now, but in the future it may be. Ryan PGP signature

If all you want is to create an address which forwards mail transparently, add a line to /etc/aliases . If something more, get back to the list. -- Sanjeev "ghane" GuptaMob: +65 98551208 dotXtra Pte Ltd Fax: +65 2275776 Singaporeemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

re. EMail Accounts
Another option is to create a virtual user directive for exim that just looks at a text file for aliases etc. This is handy when you have multiple domains being handled by the one server as you can double up on all the popular emails e.g. sales, info, support Regards Nathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RE: Email Accounts
Probably the easier way to do this is just to use aliases.
("man 5 aliases"). Add entries to /etc/aliases such as:
john[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will forward all mail for john to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This should be sufficient unless you plan on doing this
with large amounts of users. This way, you can avoid
creating virtual user tables, shell accounts, ~/.forward's,
etc.

Hello;
There is an easy way to setup email accounts on a debian potato box, without
setting up a full shell account? I just want to setup a few 'forward' email
accounts, so that when that account receives mail it's just forwarded to
another offsite account.
Thanks,
Ryan

You don't need shell for this at all, either use aliases (if there is no clash in user names) or use a virtual user table under sendmail.
