 Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 9:33 am Post subject: postfix ignores my aliases |
 |
|
I apparently have a problem with postfix on two different machines. It ignores my aliases file (yes, I have run newaliases  ).
Apparently, the problem is that postfix first appends my domain to the address, before it looks in the aliases file. And then root@mydomain.dk no longer matches the line in aliases saying
root: myuser@mydomain.dk
Is there any way to make postfix look in aliases before appending the domain name? |

Here it comes, stripped with | Code: | | grep -v '^#' /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep '[^ ]' |
to get rid of all the comments etc.
| Code: |
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = localhost
mydestination = localhost, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
mynetworks_style = host
relayhost = mail.$mydomain
debug_peer_level = 2
debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
html_directory = no
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r2/readme
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases

It is only minimally modified. BTW, I use the latest stable postfix:
| Code: | root # etcat -v postfix
[ Results for search key : postfix ]
[ Candidate applications found : 4 ]
Only printing found installed programs.
* mail-mta/postfix :
[ ] 2.1.5-r1 (0)
[ I] 2.1.5-r2 (0)
[M~ ] 2.2_beta20050218 (0)
[M~ ] 2.2.0_rc1 (0)

myorigin = $mydomain? Great. But what does mydomain equal? You need to define mydomain...
| Code: | | mydomain = domain.tld |

Thank you very much for your replies. Removing the myorigin line solved the problem - but it created a new one. Now the from address on mails contain the hostname of the machine, but that hostname depends on the DHCP server (this is a laptop), and bounces never make it back to me.
The $mydomain variable defaults to the current value of the domain name, so you do not have to set it. I had changed the myorigin line just before posting, it used to be my domain name (written explicitly), but that made no difference.
Thanks for your help! |
