You don't need a "database" (at least not SQL/LDAP one) at all :-? /etc/aliases (is just a "table") is the standard (and easiest) way to setting up local e-mail aliases in Postfix and many other MTAs. "man etc-aliases" will give you the whole picture about how this file is used. If you need more sophisticated config (delivering to local or remote recipients), virtual aliasing in Postfix is pretty useful and quite easy to setup, depending on you current configuration :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
