Category: Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Guido Boehm (lenix) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: domain aliases without bounces/backscatter Initial Comment: see http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4678100 for full problem description. in short: the current mechanism to do domain-aliasing (joh...@al... goes to joh...@re..., fo...@al... goes to fo...@re..., ...) is to insert a record into the alias-table, like address:@alias.com goto:@real.com. unless @real.com has catchall configured (address:@real.com, goto:us...@re...) this solution will generate bounce-mails. postfix will accept all mail for @alias.com, and only afterwards notice that there's no such user @real.com. this "backscatter"-problem makes you unpopular among other postmasters, so you would better try to avoid bouncing many messages. unfortunately, the only way to handle such situations in postfix without producing backscatter involves creating another table and modifying some main.cf configuration. this patch adds an alias_domain table to the setup, includes documentation for postfix-configuration and adds proper listing and forms for handling those alias-domains. it can peacefully co-exists with the "old" way to do domain-aliasing, that means that @alias.com -> @real.com in 'alias'-table will keep working, but it'll still have the same problems described above. since there are new forms/errors/... there are a lot of new strings to translate, i'll provide a german translation myself the next days. Do these new items have to be added to DOCUMENTS/LANGUAGE.txt? regarding PgSQL, i tried to support it everywhere i added new queries, but since i have no postgres-installation at hand i didn't test the relevant parts. it would be nice if somebody could provide some feedback/fixups on this topic. have fun, guido 'lenix' boehm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=937966&aid=1901104&group_id=191583 |
