postfix virtual setup - redirect just one domain

  • 772

ok - i give up trying to find the answer to this so here i am :)

I have postfix/dovecot setup using virtual accounts. I basically followed this guide http://pietervogelaar.nl/ubuntu-12-04-install-postfix-dovecot-and-vimbadmin/

But what I ideally want is to set up a mail server to be an endpoint for some domains, whilst relay others.

Example

example.com is a virtual domain hosted locally on the mail server. [email protected] is an email address on the local server so mails are stored in /var/vmail/example.com/info

otherdomain.com is a domain that needs all messages relayed to some.other-server.com whilst going through spam/av checking first. no mails or accounts are stored locally.

    ~ User aliases eg [email protected] goes to [email protected]

    ~ What transport to use to send mail eg virtual or relay
    ~ Here you can put things like relay:[relay.mail-server.com] in the transport field

  2. I don't see any transport maps in your config. It must be something like following

    transport_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/relay_transport.conf
relay_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/transport.conf

    /etc/postfix/sql/relay_domain.conf

    user = postfixadmin
password = password
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfixadmin
query = SELECT domain FROM domain WHERE domain='%s' and transport = 'relay' and active = 1

    /etc/postfix/sql/transport.conf

    user = postfixadmin
password = password
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfixadmin
query = SELECT transport FROM domain WHERE domain='%s' and active = 1

    Note: in the description field you must specify ip address of the relay server

    You can get more info at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/postfixadmin/index.php?title=Relay_Domains
