Email fowarding in comand line - bmb - 12-01-2009 02:59 PM

Hello all.
The mail alias with postfix work fine, but i'm trying to add aliases to postfix in comand line
this what i've done:

Quote:emacs /etc/postfix/ispcp/aliases

Quote:The file look like this:
#
# MTA Managment Virtual Aliases List;
#
# Please do NOT edit it manually;
#
webmaster@domain.tld my@isp.tld
postmaster@domain.ldt my@isp.tld
abuse@domain.tld my@isp.tld
homemade@domaine.tld my@isp.tld
newaliases

That must work.
I've tried to reload postfix but that don't produce anything.
Any idea ?

Andplease don't explain me that the ispcp way work fine, i knwo that but that don't resolve my problem.

1. This file will be overwritten by ispcp, so you ALSO have to edit /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/aliases so they are mantained over time.
2. Don't forget to "postmap /etc/postfix/ispcp/aliases", before reloading the configuration with "/etc/init.d/postfix reload".
3. Enjoy your new aliases (as long as the domain name of the aliases is already listed in /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/domains).

Thank you !
And in wich file /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/aliases is linked ?
I would like to create another aliases file(like /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/homemadealiases), for a more clean system.

I don't get the point here, sorry :S The panel simply uses this file as the basis for account addition/deletion, and overwrites /etc/postfix/ispcp/aliases afterwards...

Indeed, you only have to add this new file to the "virtual_alias_maps" directive in /etc/postfix/main.cf (you can put as many files as you want in these directives). Don't forget to postmap the new file though!
