redirect postfix email address

[wbens]

Hello Forum:

I need to tell postfix to send email sent to one email address to another email address.

What I really need to do is tell postfix that every email sent to


dbsupport@thisdomain.com
and
helpdesk@thisdomain.com

be sent to admins@thatdomain.com



I tried transport maps like this:


dbsupport@thisdomain.com smtp:admins@thatdomain.com

helpdesk@thisdomain.com smtp:admins@thatdomain.com

but that did not work.




I then tried canonical maps like this:

recipient_canonical file:

/^((dbsupport|helpdesk).*)thisdomain[.]com$/ admins@thatdomain.com



sender_canonical file:

/^(.*@).*thisdomain[.]com$/ ${1}thatdomain.com

but it did not work either.

I am really exhausted and I need to find a solution for this one since it is my boss asking me to get this working.

This is what if in /var/log/mail in box1:


Dec 28 16:10:25 box1 postfix/pickup[19291]: 54D258F726: uid=0 from=<root>
Dec 28 16:10:25 box1 postfix/cleanup[23489]: 54D258F726: message-id=<4D1A5241.mailIBZ11LRR6@box1.thisdomain.com>

If anyone out there can help me, please do so.

Thanks.

did you try aliasing? if your smtp settings are alright, aliasing should do the trick

file: /etc/postfix/main.cf

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases

# ls -l /etc/postfix/aliases

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 2008-10-20 09:31 aliases

file:/etc/postfix/aliases

dbsupport: dbsupport, admins@thatdomain.com
helpdesk: helpdesk, admins@thatdomain.com

# postaliases /etc/postfix/aliases
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart


should work..but can you confirm, please?

I am going to try it right now.

Now, are you saying that I should leave my transport file as it is? I thought I had to erase what I tried with it.

I am trying to tell postfix to deliver all emails from

dbsupport@thisdomain.com
and
helpdesk@thisdomain.com

to admins@thatdomain.com

Thanks.

Also, can you tell me why are we repeating helpdesk and dbsuport twice in the alias file?

dbsupport: dbsupport, admins@thatdomain.com
helpdesk: helpdesk, admins@thatdomain.com

Thanks sarmed

I'm not sure, but I think you could try removing those lines from transport file....or you could try like this (but i don't know the syntax right)

.thatdomain.com remote_IP:smtp port

about aliases; when I write

user1: user2

the email sent to user 1 would be redirected to user2. However, user1 would not have a copy of the email.

but if I write

user1: user1, user2

both user1 and user2 would get a copy of the email.

Hope it helps. ^_^
