The output of `postconf` shows: local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps and alias maps is alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
man postconf shows: unix (read-only) A limited way to query the UNIX authentication database. The following tables are implemented: unix:passwd.byname The table is the UNIX password database. The key is a login name. The result is a password file entry in passwd(5) format. unix:group.byname The table is the UNIX group database. The key is a group name. The result is a group file entry in group(5) format. So for my config it looks in the local users, and alias maps from both /etc/passwd (users) and /etc/aliases (aliases). The mail client just needs to send to the right address that is a user or alias for my mailhost. There are many FAQs, and documentation included with Postfix (if you get the source) and `postconf` or `man postconf` will show more. http://www.postfix.org/ /B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simpson, Doug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 12:51 Subject: postfix question > > Has anyone used the local_recipient_maps = in the main.cf? > Does this look in the passwd file?
