hello,
in howto for gentoo i found this:
To tell Postfix about the maps that you've just set up, add the
following (substituting mysql for pgsql if you're on PostgreSQL) to the
bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_domain_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
Tip: Because this is using the Dovecot's LDA, all results from
virtual_mailbox_maps are ignored beyond checking if they exist.
I added in the mysql db an alias postmaster at domainn.tld that should be
forwarded to name at domainn.tld.
The tip above tells me when using dovecot lda the virtual_alias_maps is
ignored by dovecot.
now when i send a mail to postmaster at domainn.tld the mail is not
transported to name at domainn.tld.
in logfile i see this:
dovecot: auth-worker: sql(postmaster at zbfmail.de): Unknown user
how can i tell dovecot to also use the virtual_alias_maps?
thank you
marko
