How to forward certain addresses only to another mail server with Postfix

  • 772

For automatically handling bounce mail in an application, I need bounces sent back to certain adresses only to be delivered by pipe to the program which will manage these. There is two options :

  • Forward those addresses to another SMTP server, which will pipe every received mail
  • Pipe only these addresses on the main mail server

Is there any efficient and simple way to do one of those with Postfix?

Thanks.

    # vi /etc/postfix/main.cf

    virtual_alias_domains = yeswedeal.com # virtual_alias_domains = example.com virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

    # vi /etc/postfix/virtual

    [email protected] [email protected]

    You can also implement a catch-all address i.e. email sent to [email protected] and [email protected] should be forwarded to [email protected]

    @example.com [email protected]

    Save and close the file. Type the following command to restart postfix:

    # postmap /etc/postfix/virtual # service postfix reload
