 |
|
Hello,
Any idea how to force postfix to read user information for local recipients from mysql and not use unix:passwd.byname?
For virtual domains, all works ok, but local always tries to read from passwd file and completely ignores mysql.
Example:
user Bob has e-mail bob.smith@domain.com (domain.com is a local one)
he also has shell access, indentified only as "Bob" in passwd file
as postfix reads local users from passwd, i get a result "unknown user", though 'users' table in mysql contains email bob.smith@domain.com, homedir /home/bob maildir /home/bob/.maildir
Does exist something, that will disallow postfix to look into passwd file and correctly select from mysql?
One solution is to add bob.smith bob@domain.com to alias table, but this will also replace "To:" header in mail, so i don't like it very much |

Sorry, posted the wrong link. This is probably what you are looking for:
http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html
| Quote: | Problem: you don't use the default Postfix local( delivery agent for domains matching $mydestination, $inet_interfaces, or $proxy_interfaces. For example, you redefined the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
Solution: your local_recipient_maps setting needs to specify a database that lists all the known user names or addresses for that delivery agent. For example, if you deliver users in $mydestination etc. domains via the virtual( delivery agent, specify:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost ...
local_transport = virtual
local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps

Isn't the easiest solution to to change your local domain to virtual. Generally I set host.domain.com to mydestination and myorigin because those must be local IIRC. Then you can assign domain.com to be virtual without making Postfix act funny.
