[SOLVED] Additional virtual alias tables

[syntaxys]

Hello Forum,
I have a problem with setting up a kind of semi-CatchAll addresses in Zimbra's Postfix.
On my old Postfix system I have users who want use temporarily email aliases and I'm to lazy to set them up manually each time nor I'm accepting a CatchAll solution.
So I've edited an additional virtual alias table like

/^.*user.*@domain\.tld$/    user

In main.cf I'd set up

virtual_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/virtual, ... other tables

which worked fine.

How do I set up this solution in Zimbra's Postfix main.cf? It seems I have to handle zmmta.cf, but in which way?

Thanks for your help and advice!
Achim

Please don't add posts to threads that are two and a half years old, I've moved this to a new thread.

We are moving from an exim install, and need some aliases moved across as well, does /etc/aliases ever work? Ive also tested it and cant seem to get it to work (end goal is to get it as a regexp: rather than a hash: for wildcard-style aliases, but just getting /etc/aliases working would be a great start)
Thanks,

I moved your post captainmish as it was to a thread over 2 years old ... This appears appropriate to what your trying to achieve.

Hey,
I have helped myself with setting up a CatchAll address for the domain and a forwarding of the relevant mails by a filter. That works but now I get some spam which I don't want.
Is there no way to get a better control of Postfix in Zimbra configuration? Which is the right way to have a lookup to LDAP and own tables?

Thanks

Ive found that zmlocalconfig is a good way to sort this out:

zmlocalconfig -e postfix_virtual_alias_maps='proxy:ldap:${zimbra_ho me}/conf/ldap-vam.cf,pcre:/etc/aliases-virtual'

Edit /etc/aliases-virtual to taste

zmmtactl restart - this rewrites the config files and restarts the mta

You can just add new regexes to the aliases-virtual table, there is no need to hash it.

I would imagine that it would also work by editing the conf/zmmta.cf file, but this risks being overritten on each upgrade.

Hey captain, thx a lot!

I have tried this out before too, but directly in the main.cf which produces a configuration error on Postfix. Now it works great and I can remove the catchall directive.
