Hi! It seems that my generic map does not work. I have followed the guide "Howto: ISP-style Email Server with Debian-Etch and Postfix 2.3" (http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/) (postfix, mysql, dovecot, amavisd-new, clamav, spamassasin). I am using the latest postix 2.4.5 on a Ubuntu 7.10 amd64 server and everything works fine except for one thing -- the generic mapping. I have, let say, a mylocaldomain.com which is my name of my local network and an external domain called mydomain.com. The problem is that when I am sending an email, the recived mail get the headings: X-Virus-Scanned: Debian amavisd-new at mydomain.com Received: from mail.mydomain.com ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (mail.mydomain [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) and, Received: from [192.168.1.10] (user.mylocaldomain.com [192.168.1.10]) by mail.mydomain.com (Postfix) So my question is, why is user.mylocaldomain.com shown? And also, why is my local IP shown (192.168.1.10)? How can I rewrite this with generic maps (or should I do something else?) This is the output from postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 inet_interfaces = all local_recipient_maps = mailbox_size_limit = 0 masquerade_domains = mail.mydomain.com mydomain.com mydestination = mail.mydomain.com localhost.mydomain.com localhost localhost.mylocaldomain.com server.mylocaldomain.com mydomain = mydomain.com myhostname = mail.mydomain.com mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = /etc/mailname proxy_interfaces = xxx.yyy.zzz.www (my ip of mydomain.com) receive_override_options = no_address_mappings recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/rootca.pem smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/cert/mail.mydomain.com.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/key/mail.mydomain.com.pem smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 Note that I have the line: smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic. In this "generic"-file I have tried many different mappings without success. It seems that this file is not read, I am not sure. Note also "receive_override_options = no_address_mappings" but this only effects the received mails and not when you send, or? I have added the following to my master.cf: # DOVECOT: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} # # AMAVIS: smtp-amavis unix - - n - 2 smtp -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes -o disable_dns_lookups=yes -o max_use=20 -o smtp_generic_maps= -o disable_mime_output_conversion=yes # # 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd -o content_filter= -o local_recipient_maps= -o relay_recipient_maps= -o smtpd_restriction_classes= -o smtpd_delay_reject=no -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_data_restrictions=reject_unauth_pipelining -o smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions= -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 -o smtpd_error_sleep_time=0 -o smtpd_soft_error_limit=1001 -o smtpd_hard_error_limit=1000 -o smtpd_client_connection_count_limit=0 -o smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit=0 -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks -o local_header_rewrite_clients= -o smtpd_authorized_xforward_hosts=127.0.0.0/8 As far as I under stand is that when I am sending an email it goes first to Amavis on port 10024. Since the transport map for Amavis includes "smtp_generic_maps= ", the "generic"-file is not used at this stage. The email is then sent to port 10025 where Postfix take over to finally send the email. Since the transpost map for "127.0.0.1:10025" does NOT contain "smtp_generic_maps= " the generic map should be used, but it doesn't. Or? I have one more question. Let say that some of you solve my problem and the generic mapping works! How can I do the following: user.mylocaldomian.com myname.domain.com #(case 1) user.mylocaldomian.com myname.otherdomain.com #(case 2) I don't know if you understand what I am trying to say. Let say I host two domains on my server (my work mail and private mail). If I am the user on a local machine and want to send a mail using "myname.domain.com" I want the generic map to use "case 1" but if I instead use "myname.otherdomain.com", the "case 2" should be mapped. I guess I don't really understand the generic mapping because I can not see how this can be done. So how do you do something like this? Regards, Daniel
