Address Rewriting vs Aliasing - I need all recipients to see each other
Hi all, I'm under the gun, and reading furiously, but I'm hoping someone will help point me in the right direction... I want to set up an email alias for my domain, ie: facilit...@example.com That sends the email to two (or more) external addresses: us...@example2.com us...@example2.com Currently, if I set up the alias, each recipient only sees themselves as the recipient, but I need all recipients to see each other, so each knows the other received it. I would prefer they not see the original alias, but it isn't that important. I'd also like for one the be added as 'To:', and the other as 'CC:', but again, not really that important, as long as they will each see the other got it. I'm guessing I need to use Address Rewriting rather than just an alias, but I'm not sure which method or how to accomplish it. Thanks, Charles

Hi Charles, Currently, if I set up the alias, each recipient only sees themselves as the recipient, but I need all recipients to see each other, so each knows the other received it. I do not quite understand that. Normally, when you use a simple alias, no adresses are rewritten, so the original headers should be preserved - resulting in all recipients seeing the alias rather than any of the resulting addresses. Maybe there are canonical rewrites in place somewhere already?

Thanks for the reply Dominik, but...

That is precisely what is happening with my normal alias - but as I said in my email, that is NOT what I want. I WANT each recipient to see ALL of the other recipients (I honestly don't see how that was unclear)... Also - why did I receive no less than three copies of your email? Please keep traffic on list, and I don't need to be CC'd, as I'm on the list. Thanks again, -- Best regards, Charles

Generally, the message headers are unchanged and all you see is the alias. So not sure what you mean by only sees themselves. but I need all recipients to see each other, so each knows the other received it. s/received it/was another recipient/ I'd also like for one the be added as 'To:', and the other as 'CC:', but again, not really that important, as long as they will each see the other got it. They can't know the other recipient got the message, they can only know that it was alleged to have been sent to the other recipient, and for this it is sufficient for them to know that they're both targets of the alias. The requirement you have is rather strange, it appears to be appeasing someone's confusion rather than enlightened interest. All that said, Postfix has no facilities for 1-to-many header recipient rewriting. This would need to be done via procmail or other external filter. -- Viktor.
