It's possible to use single instance store *and* use aliases, but the
configuration is more convoluted:
- remove your domain from "mydestination"
- add it to "relay_domains"
- activate transport_map, e.g,
"transport_map = hash:/etc/postfix/transport"
- activate virtual_map, e.g.,
"virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual"
- in /etc/postfix/transport:
your.domain lmtp:unix:/your/lmtp/socket
-put your aliases in /etc/postfix/virtual:
+
usealiasfile at localhost
(note that the third line will deliver mail to a top level shared
folder, the last line will map to an address in localhost which in turn
will use /etc/postfix/aliases)
- postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
- postmap /etc/postfix/transport
Aliases for "your.domain" will be managed through the virtual map, while
all other aliases will follow the mapping in aliases.
I hope I did not forget any step
Bye
