Question


Just a question about postfix lemme see if I can word this correctly.... anyone know how to configure postfix or use postalias to allow misstyped email addresses to go to a certain person on the system? for example with qmail on a Solaris box I can create an alias in "/etc/aliases" that looks like this @mydomain.com:user and anything@mydomain.com goes to user whenever I do this with the aliases file in linux and run the newaliases command it gives me an error like this



postalias: warning: /etc/postfix/aliases, line 39: name must be local



and I cannot get it to work.... can anyone lend a hand? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

Rewt

Haven't tried this, but..

If you find the "luser_relay" key in the "main.cf" file and sets it to something like..
luser_relay = (the email addr you want it sent to)
