ok this is my 1st attempt at setting up a postfix server, and things are running ok with the 101's I have read. But I am looking for a little more help. I don't want to create local users for each person, and for now there is only 1 domain but that may change and I would rather be ready.

So for one domain (or knowing there will be more) and wanting virtual users, I assume I will switch to a database type setup. I am well versed in mysql over postgres so I would go that route.

X is not installed, but I do have ssh access, so was wondering both on advice for setting up as well as any front end (web based) tools people use. I have the webmin module installed and can send mail from there, as well as recieve so I know DNS, MX, etc are all good, so really looking for both a good web based tool people use and is DB the only way (or preferred way) of having virtual users.

Thanks

I can't so much help with users, but I think I can help with the different domains.

virtual_alias_domains I think is what you want to look at.

We created a file called /etc/postfix/virtual_alias_domains
This file looks like:

The date's are kind of odd. I remember needing just some string there to indicate that you made a change. The important lines are your domains/sub-domains.

Once your have the virtual_alias_domains file saved, run the command:
Then in your /etc/postfix/main.cf (or wherever your main.cf file is located at):
Restart postfix, and that should work. There may be other easier ways, but when I was getting it setup a couple years back, that's just what I happened to get working. Hope this helps!
