virtusertable and mailscanner

[Sanjay Patel]

That mailertable entry does not look right it should be

Domain name             esmtp:[relay server]
So if you want all mail for test.com to goto server demo.com than you your
mailertable should look like this

Test.com                esmtp:[demo.com]

Once this is done do a makemap
makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable < /etc/mail/mailertable (change the path
to where your mailertable is)

Let me know if this works for you.

Subject: virtusertable and mailscanner


I am testing our system to use virtusertable. Ultimately we will want mail
coming for @xyz.com to be redirected to @xxx.com after mailscanner &
spamasssasin & sophos have done their job. Before we get the mail for
@xyz.com forwarded to us, I am testing with the existing configuration. I
cannot get redirection working.

At the moment we get mail for serverA to be scanned by mailscanner, etc. All
is working perfectly. If I add an entry in virtusertable and make map, mail
arriving for johndoe at serverA.ox.ac.uk is not forwarded to
sylvain at somewhere.ox.ac.uk. (johndoe doesnt exist on serveA). The messages
are bounced with:
>>> RCPT To:<nothere at serevA.ox.ac.uk>
<<< 550 No such recipient
550 5.1.1 <nothere at serverA.ox.ac.uk>... User unknown


A tab separate the two fields in virtusertable. Here are the files we have
at the moment:

[mailertable]
serverA.ox.ac.uk   esmtp:[serverA.ox.ac.uk]

[virtusertable]
johndoe at serverA.ox.ac.uk     sylvain at somewhere.ox.ac.uk
