Dovecot LDA (deliver) aliases question.
I have a multiple virtual domain setup using sendmail, username/domain,
password, home directory all stored in mysql,Set-UID/GID for dovecot
'deliver' setup as referenced in Dovecot LDA wiki. Delivery, and
POP/IMAP work just fine, serving a mail store in /home/vmail/domain/username
type of setup.
My problem comes from what may be a misunderstanding on my part on how to setup
aliases for some virtual users.
I have the mailer specification for dovecot defined, and my mailertable and
(access) tables setup for each domain, with an entry like this for each domain
in mailertable:
domain.com dovecot:dovecot
and since I also function as SMTP relay for each customer, I also have an entry
in in access
domain.com RELAY
and the tables are made with hash... this all appears to work just fine, except
when I want to alias a certian email address.
Lets say that I have one email in the domain that needs to be forwarded to
another remote account (on another server), I would normally accomplish this
with an entry in virtusertable something like this:
sales at domain.com <mailto:sales at domain.com> user at
otherdomain.com <mailto:user at otherdomain.com>
but when using dovecots' deliver as the LDA specified for domain.com in
mailertable, this appears to be ignored, with the email being returned
undeliverable (if sales at domain.com <mailto:sales at domain.com>
doesn't exist), or being delivered to sales at domain.com <mailto:sales
at domain.com> (if the account exists in the mysql table).
I have also tried creating the account, and placing a .forward file in the
appropriate /home/vmail/domain/user directory, but this also appears to be
ignored.
Does anyone have some advice on how to implement such an ability?
I am running dovecot-1.0.rc17, sendmail-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5, mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1
on Centos 4.4
Sincerely
Michael P.
