If an alias has multiple destinations, multiple records exist, due to the nature of the database. address_list would then return the same alias multiple times, which does not add any information, eats screen space and is potentially confusing. Therefore, we SELECT DISTINCTly from the alias table. Signed-off-by: martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> --- VirtualMailManager/common.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

Postfix configuration
=====================
This page mentions all Postfix configuration parameters, which have to be
modified and/or added in/to the Postfix :file:`main.cf`.

main.cf
-------
Add or replace the following configuration parameters in the global Postfix
configuration file.
The Postfix PostgreSQL client configuration files (:file:`pgsql-{*}.cf`)
mentioned below will be created when vmm will be installed.

.. code-block:: text

 sql      = pgsql:${config_directory}/
 proxysql = proxy:${sql}

 # relocated users from the database
 #relocated_maps = ${proxysql}pgsql-relocated_maps.cf
 
 # transport settings from our database
 transport_maps = ${proxysql}pgsql-transport_maps.cf
 
 # virtual domains, mailboxes and aliases
 virtual_mailbox_domains = ${proxysql}pgsql-virtual_mailbox_domains.cf
 virtual_alias_maps = ${proxysql}pgsql-virtual_alias_maps.cf
 virtual_minimum_uid = 70000
 virtual_uid_maps = ${sql}pgsql-virtual_uid_maps.cf
 virtual_gid_maps = ${sql}pgsql-virtual_gid_maps.cf
 virtual_mailbox_base = /
 virtual_mailbox_maps = ${proxysql}pgsql-virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
 
 # dovecot LDA (only recommended with Dovecot v1.x)
 #dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
 #virtual_transport = dovecot:
 
 # dovecot lmtp (requires Dovecot ≧ v2.0.0)
 virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
 
 # dovecot SASL
 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
 smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth
 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
 # Keep smtpd_sasl_local_domain identical to Dovecot's auth_default_realm:
 # empty. Both are empty by default. Let it commented out.
 # Read more at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/DigestMD5
 #smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
 smtpd_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous
 #broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

  permit_mynetworks
  permit_sasl_authenticated
  reject_unauth_destination

mater.cf
--------
.. note:: This step is only necessary if you are still using Dovecot v\ **1**.x

Add the service `dovecot` to Postfix's master process configuration file.
Append this lines:

.. code-block:: text

 dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DORhu user=nobody argv=/usr/local/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender}
  -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension}

The command of the `argv` attribute points to the
:ref:`root SETUID copy of deliver <root-setuid-copy-of-deliver>`.
For more details about the `flags` used above see: `pipe(8)`_.
All other arguments are explained in the Dovecot LDA_ documentation.
