Dear all

I have configured POSTFIX mail server in REDHAT LINUX

also configured fetchmailrc which download mail from particular domain and save to local user's local mail box[downnload individual mail box in remote server also save to local individual mailbox]

OK now i got mail from remote mailserver and saved local mail box.fine

Mail sending through Postfix ok. Well.

I enabled "Always_bcc = allmail" in postfix main.cf

So all send and recive mail make a copy to "allmail" user's mail box

MY PROBLEM [Needed] is:

Certain group of users [like 10 users or may be more than 10 users ]mails both Sending and Receiving should make a copy to a single user mail box[ eg., username as "tenusers"]

so i can see that 10 user's sending and receiving mail by that user [tenusers] mail box.

can i do it?

if there is any possibility in main.cf?

can i do it with Procmailrc? if yes pls give the example and where i have to save that file?

pls help me

Look into recipient_bcc_maps and sender_bcc_maps.

Dear Berhanie

Could please give example for my current situation how to use "recipient_bcc_maps and sender_bcc_maps"

I refered some like about "recipient_bcc_maps and sender_bcc_maps" in postfix but i couldn't understand properly

so pls give some tip or example

can i get it?

Suppose you wanted a copy of all incoming mail to certain users. Your main.cf should have:
/etc/postfix/recipient_bcc would look something like this:
Then, create the .db file and reload postfix:
To read those users' outgoing mail, do the identical thing with sender_bcc_maps.

Dear friend


Thanks for helping

i did well sender_bcc_maps.it's working fine


but recipient_bcc_maps is not ok

my settings is

fetchmail from remote site and put to appropriate locate Linux user mail box.
r

recipient_bcc_maps is ok when mail is reciving from local linux user and send to [ie., transfer to another local user by MTA (postfix)] another local linux user.

at the same time fetched mails [by .fetchmailrc] ONLY send to appropriate users mail box who is mentioned in .fetchmailrc file . i think it never check /etc/postfix/recipient_bcc file for to deliver common user or monitoring user or who want to get one or more users mail copy.

so i couldn't get another [never add bcc for reciving (fetched mails)mail] copy of the same mail to common user or monitoring user or who want to get one or more users mail copy.


i cheked by stoping postfix that time mails are not delivered even local user also.

so after mail fetched from remote server where it has gone .

but mail is deliver to excact user who is noted in .ferchmailrc file


so how can i get it?

so pls help me

Hello, tkmuthuvel.

With a minimal fetchmail configuration, mail comes in with an envelope address of the form user@localhost, which postfix then rewrites to user@localhost.mysite.com. The key (i.e. the left side) of the recipient_bcc table must match this address. An easy solution for recipient_bcc is:
This will match both someuser@mysite.com and someuser@localhost.mysite.com.

If your config is more complicated, then can always specify the full address in the key, as I did above, but taking fetchmail into account:
A third option is to tell fetchmail to write the envelope address that you want (look for the smtpaddress option on the fetchmail man page).

Dear friend


Hearty Thanks i did well both send and receving.


i have onemore doubt

can i update postfix v1 to postfix v2 in REDHAT LINUX 9 with default kernel version?


Muthuvel.K

postfix does not care which kernel you use. But, RPM binaries are compiled in a particular environment, and may not work outside of it. Make sure that you install an RPM made specifically for Redhat 9. If this is a production system, you might seek advice from someone who uses Redhat.

Dear sir,


Ok with most of u'r help i did Sender_bcc and recipient_bcc well.



i feel we can filter the mail[i mean what we did last,ie both sending and receiving of some users mail to certain user ID] by using procmailrc file.

Here i would like to take a user home directory or /etc/pocmailrc to write .procmailrc file who is noted Always_bcc line in main.cf file

if i take this type what should be the line in .procmailrc file

help me
