Basic Postfix Config, Backed by PostgreSQL
Following my previous post, I now have a working config with PostgreSQL.
Database administrative stuff (database/user creation, authentication, pg_hba.conf & co) is out of the scope of this document. You should read up on those topics somewhere else if you don’t feel comfortable with it!
The aim of this is to have a postfix installation capable mainly of “aliasing” e-mails. Let’s say I have a domain “example.com” and I want to manage e-mail addresses for that domain. But, it’s a small domain with only a handful of users and I don’t want to store mails locally, just alias them to the users private e-mails addresses.
While the aim is only to alias e-maile, the config explained below is still capable of delivering mail locally (storing them directly to disk), but as there is no set-up to access those mails (POP/IMAP/webmail), it’s only marginally useful. But it gives you a working framework if you want to add these features yourself. Read the rest of this entry »
