mail setup recommendation

my setup is similar.
i entered in /etc/main.cf the following for virtual-support:
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
make sure, alias_maps is like this in the same file:
alias_maps =
...in this case, you don't need to support /etc/postfix/aliases, you have
to insert your users in /etc/postfix/virtual instead.
so, a user in /etc/postfix/virtual looks like:
mydomain.net anything
roger at mydomain.net roger
have a look at the first line: gwch.net ist my domainname, i tell there
postfix to accept anything for this domain
the second line is my mailbox (which should usually be a unix-user,
related to shadow-accounts, but i use mysql for authentication)
if you have a further domain, e.g test just add:
test.net anything
email at test.net mailbox-username
now, you can put anything you want for the e-mail-adress, but a user in
unix has to be present.
now, make sure, that the dns-entries of those domains have the appropriate
mx-record to your mailserver.
btw. don't forget to '/usr/sbin/postmap virtual' to create the virtual db.
is it what you where looking for?
