[KLUG Members] Re:Postfix relay_domain question

[Bob Kanaley]

Thanks for the quick responses to my Postfix relay_domain question.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I only get the members digests.
Consequently, I am usually at least a day behind in reading the list
postings.

Althought I am running Postfix not Sendmail, Postfix is close enought to
Sendmail that most Sendmail commands work or have an analog. After reading
your Sendmail post, I did a quick search of the Postfix docs for virtual and
found that Postfix has an optional virtual table I can use to accomplish the
same thing you described for Sendmail. However, like the older version of
Sendmail, after creating the table or changing it, you have to execute a
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual to build the indexed file.

Thanks again for the help.
