It is, but I get multiple copies. Before proceeding any further, I am just curious: in order for sch...@nonexistent.arlut.utexas.edu to be accepted, that hostname must be defined (either explicitly or via wildcard) in a Postfix address class -- where does this occur in your configuration? Based on a cursory glance, it seems to me that a simple virtual alias mapping is more suitable than jumping through canonical hoops. Oh, and in your follow-up: please, show logs that relate to your problem description. -- Sahil Tandon

wait a sec. i think my test procedure is not working. i won't be able to check until this afternoon. it may be the other configurations i thought i was trying weren't actually being used at all. j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553g...@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. System Administrator Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.

multiple copies delivered
Hello, This machine has a list of legitimate users but does not deliver mail locally. (It's a mail gateway.) Presently user schumi gets copies of his mail delivered to three systems. The three destinations are listed in virtual_alias_maps. schumi: sch...@inm.arlut.utexas.edu, sch...@ns8.arlut.utexas.edu, sch...@vme.arlut.utexas.edu By management fiat, mail that is addressed incorrectly to sch...@nonexistent.arlut.utexas.edu should be delivered to sch...@arlut.utexas.edu. It is, but I get multiple copies. recipient_canonical_maps: /^schumi@.*\.arlut\.utexas\.edu$/ sch...@arlut.utexas.edu From the logs I see that the alias gets expanded into three, and then canonicalized, so that each target gets three copies of the email. Obviously, I want to get rid of the duplicates. For outgoing mail I must avoid MX lookups as part of my load balancing and fault tolerance, so I must set relayhost. Only the official mail servers have MX records in DNS, so any other machines that accept mail must be listed in the transport_maps. postconf -n command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = pmx:127.0.0.1:10025 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = /opt/depot/postfix-2.7.1/html inet_interfaces = all local_recipient_maps = local_transport = error:local mail delivery is disabled mail_owner = postfix mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/local/man masquerade_domains = $mydomain masquerade_exceptions = adm amanda apache avahi beaglidx bin daemon dbus distcache dovecot ejabberd exim flexlm ftp games gdmgopher haldaemon halt hsqldb listen lp mail mailman mailnull mysql nagios named netdump news nfsnobody noaccess nobody nobody4 nscd ntp nuucp nx operator otrs pcap pegasus postfix postgres pvm root rpc rpcuser rpm sabayon shutdown smmsp smtp squid sshd sweepsync sync sys tomcat utwww uucp vcsa webalizer xfs zope message_size_limit = 0 mydestination = mydomain = arlut.utexas.edu myhostname = ns6.arlut.utexas.edu mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /opt/depot/postfix-2.7.1/README recipient_canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/pfrecipient_canonical recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = arlut.utexas.edu relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pfknown_users relayhost = [ns4.arlut.utexas.edu] sample_directory = /etc/postfix sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pfgenerics smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_multi_recipient_bounce transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pftransport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pfmalias hash:/etc/aliases j.
