Hello, I have an debian 4.0 VPS with apache (with some virtual hosts), php, mysql. You know the drill. I mainly use my gmail adress for mailing, but used a custom ([email protected]) e-mail adress before, and want to forward mail to my main account. The same applies to some people I host websites for. So I want something like this: [email protected] -> [email protected] [email protected] -> [email protected] Does anyone know how to do this?
I already found the answer. I tried postfix before, but it didn't work. Turns out I did not know about the (here) final step. I use postfix, here are instructions to set it up yourself Code: 1. If you have any MTA's, remove them, you'll delete most common with: apt-get remove exim exim4 sendmail qmail 2. If you didn't already, install postfix apt-get install postfix 3. add these lines to /etc/postfix/main.cf, for example with nano ("nano /etc/postfix/main.cf") virtual_mailbox_domains = yourdomain.com yourotherdomains.com virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual 4. change /etc/postfix/virtual to suit your needs, syntax like this: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 5. Generate virtual.db by executing the following commands as root: cd /etc/postfix/ postmap /etc/postfix/virtual If you want to add a domain, edit the virtual_mailbox_domains line in /etc/postfix/main.cf To change adresses, edit /etc/postfix/virtual and then repeat step 5
