Re: Postfix: Multiple recipients alias?
I just did something similar for one of our customers.
I used mailman to create a mailing list, and added all the employees. I'm sure
there's a way to do it without mailman, but I reckon if you're going to send
something to "everyone" there ought to be a decent archive for it somewhere.
What I wanted was something along the lines of "if I wouldn't relay mail for
these people, I won't send messages to this address." Primary concern is spam.
So incredibly easy to do in postfix. smtpd_recipient_restrictions does the
access checks in order. For me, I put my sasl checks, then my network checks,
then a check_recipient_access directive. Like so:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks,
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/internal,check_relay_domains
made a simple access file (/etc/postfix/internal):
all-email@mycompany.com REJECT
postmap it, and postfix reload. Done.
If you have employees that want to send stuff from home, or whatever, you can do
something more complicated with check_sender_access or whatever it's called, but
spam (and viruses!) fake that stuff all the time. Another nice thing about
making it a mailing list, must easier to strip stuff, if you want to.
Hope that helps...
