right place for postfix transport map

[oayfer]

I need to add a postfix transport entry, equivalent to sendmail's mailertable entries, such that for specific domains mail is routed through specific hosts instead of through what is found in an MX record look-up.

In other words, I need to implement what is described in this snippet from a standard /etc/postfix/transport file:

# When no transport is specified, Postfix uses the transport
# that matches the address domain class (see DESCRIPTION
# above). The following sends all mail for example.com and
# its subdomains to host gateway.example.com:
#
# example.com :[gateway.example.com]
# .example.com :[gateway.example.com]
#
# In the above example, the [] suppress MX lookups. This
# prevents mail routing loops when your machine is primary
# MX host for example.com.

It looks like zmmta.cf might be the right place to do this such that it persists after restarts and upgrades, though I am not familiar with the syntax of that file at all.

Could someone explain how to do this?

Thanks.

I think I am on the right track, but I could use some help from someone who knows whether this would be retained during an upgrade:

edit

/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport

run

/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport

then

zmlocalconfig -e postfix_transport_maps=ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf,hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport

and restart zimbra (maybe zmmtactl reload is sufficient?)

Does this make sense?

Thanks.

You don't have to restart all of Zimbra, just postfix. So zmmtactl should be sufficient.

I use a SMTP gateway to perform this function and route all mail entering or exiting Zimbra via this "smarthost".
