Default after further investigation, this may be a bug.

to be sure, I've started over again with a clean install of fc4 and zimbra.

I corrected 1 major mis-read config error on this install (dns related).

Here's my procedure:

1. install zimbra (accepting all defaults)
2. access gui console to config extra domains
3. create 2 user accounts, specifying each of the new "extra" domains
--> multiple aliases for 1 user account created

Next I'm using the web gui

4. Checked user accounts tab -> I see the accounts now showing up properly (ie: with the right domain in them).

5. Checked the Aliases tab -> I see the aliases I created, but specified for the internal domain of the server, not the "extra" domain I specified.

Send test emails to double check (all from web-client):

account1: steve @ dom1.com
account2: john @ dom2.com, aliases: j @dom2.com, jb @dom2.com, jc @dom2.com, jk @ dom2.com

1. from steve @ dom1.com to john @ dom2.com -> works.
2. from steve @ dom1.com to j @ dom2.com -> fails with err msg-> invalid address

checked accounts -> john @ dom2.com exists. When I click to edit that account, under the general tab, the account domain shows the internal machine domainname, not the correct "dom2.com"

checked aliases -> all the aliases I created also show with the internal domainname, not "dom2.com" as they should.

checked user account again -> all aliases in the alias tab show as "dom2.com" which is correct, only they don't work.

so on a hunch, I tried this:

edit user account again -> changed all references to "dom2.com" in the aliases tab to internal domainname and the test emails to the aliases j @ dom2.com started to work.

If I add a fourth domain to the list, things get even stranger.

So that is one problem.

In addition, I can't figure out how to tell Zimbra that, for anyting @ dom2.com that can't be delivered locally, forward to host 4.3.2.1 for processing and delivery.

is this even possible?

do I have to hack the postfix config file manually and save my mods b/c they're lost across upgrades?

Are there plans to tap some of the more useful config options for postfix via the admin gui?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
