*@tld.com as alias

[bschneider]

Hi guys

Does anybody know how to set an alias for all possible addresses, excluding the existing ones?

i.e. existing addresses:

User 1:
abc@tld.com
*@tld.com <-- how to set this alias? (so the user could receive aaa@tld.com, but not def@tld.com)

User2:
def@tld.com


Kind regards

Anybody got some new experiences to share?

Hi,

this kind of "catch all" alias needs to be configured at postfix (for example). Within ox you can use real e-mail aliases. Aliases are used to send E-Mail in OX, they are not related to the mailbox.

Hi Martin,

As described in this tutorial you usually do it with "virtual_alias_maps".

But my problem is I used the virtual_alias_maps for the OX aliases this way:

../main.cf
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/ox_user_aliases.cf

../ox_user_alias.cf
hosts = 127.0.0.1
user = xxxxxxxxxxxx
password = xxxxxxxxxxxx
dbname = oxdatabase_6
query = SELECT
u.mail
FROM user u
JOIN user_attribute a
on u.id = a.id and u.cid = a.cid
WHERE a.value="%s"

to match aliases with the ox users.
The server got different contexts.. that's the reason why .cid
