tell postfix to forward emails
 

Hello Forum:

I am trying to find a way to tell postfix to forward all emails from

dbsupport@thisdomain.com
and
helpdesk@thisdomain.com

to

be sent to admins@thatdomain.com, but it is not working.

I am trying transport maps. The content of my transport file is:


Both helpdesk@thisdomain.com and dbsupport@thisdomain.com are on box1 as an alias in the /etc/alias file like this:

root: helpdesk@thisdomain.com
root: dbsupport@thisdomain.com

Can someone please guide me on how to get this working?

Thanks.

I think what you are after is called "virtual alias" and you are on the right track when you said that these are alias in your /etc/alias file. The problem is that you need to have a directive in Postfix's main.cf to tell it to use an alias map. You first create the alias map which is just a left-hand right-hand email address list, run postmap against the list, and then restart postifx.

Here is a link that gives some examples of setting this up for various scenarios that I think will show you how to accomplish this.
