Paul,
I'm not sure why it's an MTA issue. DBMail makes the decision weather
to
accept mail for a specific address, and decides which mailbox to put the
mail into. It seems like what I'm wanting to do here is exactly what dbmail
is in charge of.
Letting dbmail decide whether to accept mail for a certain address has also
caused all sorts of headaches in the code, because that's exactly the kind of
decision you want to defer to the mta. The mta is designed with that sort of
functionality in mind and will handle bounces *much* better. That's why postfix
users should use local_recipients which looks at dbmail's aliases table.
You're not talking about deciding what mailbox to drop mail into, but about
address redirection. And that's what postfix's access table is designed for.
All you have to do in the access table is:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ REDIRECT [EMAIL PROTECTED]
run postmap and you're done! So simple.
