Im using postfix with ISPConfig. In the virtualusertable I find only entries for wanted mailaddresses. But I'm getting lots of spam mail collected in /root/Maildir with the recipint addresses like: Why is postfix taking this mails, it is'nt configured to take it. How can I get rid of this unwanted mails or do I realy need those mailaddresses for something?
I guess these addresses are configured in /etc/aliases. These are standard addresses. At least the postmaster address is required (see http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/aix/aixbman/commadmn/ml_alias.htm ). If you don't want these mails, you can forward them do /dev/null, e.g.: Code: webmaster: /dev/null in /etc/aliases. Run Code: newaliases after your changes and restart Postfix.
Would id be ok to forward all aliases without the postmaster to dev/null like: I'm not sure which adresses are maby used by local demons to send mails but I that case I would be better that those mails are reaching read users like the admin and not root. How do I configure postfix and /etc/aliaces for reaching default mails only for example the [email protected]?
Yes - if you don't need these mails. Like this: Code: postmaster: admin (in /etc/aliases). This would forward all mails to postmaster to the admin user.
