Hi-ho,
I want to run a simple distribution list using the vmail/alias + vmail/forwardings tables. I'm using iredapd to restrict senders on the list and it initially all looked fine, but I created a nasty email loop due to the to: address in the outbound email not being re-written.
My understanding was the enable_original_recipient = no setting in postfix (which is set to no) would cause postfix to re-write the addresses in the message as well as the envelope.
With one list member the DB entries look like:
mysql> select * from alias where address like '60m%';
+--------------+------+--------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+
| address | name | accesspolicy | domain | created | modified | expired | active |
+--------------+------+--------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+
| 60m@x.org.nz | | | x.org.nz | 2018-02-10 06:31:53 | 2018-02-10 06:31:53 | 9999-12-31 00:00:00 | 1 |
+--------------+------+--------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from forwardings where address like '60m%';
+-----+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+---------------+----------+--------+
| id | address | forwarding | domain | dest_domain | is_list | is_forwarding | is_alias | active |
+-----+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+---------------+----------+--------+
| 833 | 60m@x.org.nz | chris@y.co.nz | x.org.nz | y.co.nz | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
+-----+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+---------------+----------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)I've also tried it with combos of is_forwarding and is_alias and when I send an email to 60m@x.org.nz arrives in my inbox as to:60m@x.org.nz instead of chris@y.co.nz.
I'm pretty sure I've missed something obvious along the way, but is there a way to do this within the mysql/postfix setup, or should I be looking for a solution external to iredmail?
Thanks, Chris H.
