Topic: goto=address alias?

Hello,

Could anyone explain what is the reason behind this commit?

http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/sourc … =iredadmin

It seems meaningless to me.

Re: goto=address alias?

It's required according to our historical SQL structure design (based on PostfixAdmin) and Postfix settings, otherwise normal mail user will be considered as non-exist account and mails sent to users will be delivered to catch-all account.

In Postfix, we have below settings:

virtual_alias_maps =
    proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_alias_maps.cf,
    proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/domain_alias_maps.cf,
    proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/catchall_maps.cf,
    proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/domain_alias_catchall_maps.cf

virtual_alias_maps is triggered before virtual_mailbox_maps, so if mail users aren't caught in virtual_alias_maps, it will be considered as non-existing account. With this SQL record, all mail users and aliases will be caught in first SQL query map (virtual_alias_maps.cf).
