Postfix configure <the database with non-UNIX accounts> in local_recipient_maps

  • 772

What form would the configuration of <the database with non-UNIX accounts> take? 

# in /etc/postfix/main.cf
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname, $alias_maps,
    <the database with non-UNIX accounts>

The documentation page http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html seems incomplete in that sense.

An example would be awesome.

postfix

  1. It is not incomplete. You just miss this important line

    See the section "Local recipient table format" below for a description of how the table should be populated.

    that point to this section.

    If you use local files in postmap(1) format, then local_recipient_maps expects the following table format:

    • In the left-hand side, specify a bare username, an "@domain.tld" wild-card, or specify a complete "[email protected]" address.

    • You have to specify something on the right-hand side of the table, but the value is ignored by local_recipient_maps.

    So the example would be

    nonexistaa   dummyaccount
[email protected]   dummyaccount
