Postfix virtual mailbox
Hi,
I've got a 1&1 root server running CentOS and SMB, hosting a domain "example...info". I've also got another server with a different provider X hosting a domain "example...org".
I'd now like to point all mail directed at provider X (say i.e. a mail going to "user(at)example....org") to the root server (by changing the MX record at provider X). How do I get my root server to accept it and direct it to users I've created using SMB (say i.e. mail addressed to "user(at)example....org" should now be delivered to "user(at)example....info")? Mind you, these users do NOT have linux user accounts - they're some figment of imagination produced by plesk ...
And of course, the people sending the mail shouldn't see any changes, they should be able to keep writing to their "user(at)example....org" mail addresses ...
I don't want to change the hosting setup. All domains stay where they are and websites are hosted by their respective servers. I just want to the email that used to go to X to be accepted and processed by the root server.
I've looked in /etc/postfix/main.cf and the virtual mailbox entries on the root server read thus:
virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains
virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/qmail/mailnames
virtual_uid_maps = static:110
virtual_gid_maps = static:31
virtual_transport = plesk_virtual
plesk_virtual_destination_recipient_limit = 1
I have a feeling I have to poke around somewhere in there, but I'm just too scared to touch stuff!
Please help.
