Postfix: local and virtual users on the same domain?

[loke_71]

Hi,

I've set up postfix for virtual mailhosting.
following the Virtual Mailhosting System with Postfix Guide
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml


Now, I would like to serve both local and virtual users on the same domain, is this possible
The transport table do not accept duplicate domain listings, so is there a way around this?

Thanks

This is not possible. But local users can get their mail with virtual transport. But you need to add them to required maps/db/etc... I am using MySQL database for this.

It cannot mixed. You should add mail account for local users to database (Virtual Domains). Don't remember to remove domain from mydestination.

You've got two choices

1. Add local accounts into mysql.
This will be a pain in the ass since you won't be able to sync passwords between the local accounts and virtual setting. The idea though is that you make an entry in your users table that points mail to the local user say /home/$user/.maildir/ instead of /var/vmail/$domain/$user/.maildir/ As long as you keep everything straight it should work.

2. play the alias game
This is actually a much better solution. We're setting the hostname as a local domain so we can send things that come into the virtual table to local accounts.
