Mail forwarding using postfix [solved]

[Ori Idan]

I thought I tried it but decided to try again.
in main.cf I wrote: virtual_alias_domains = /etc/postfix/valiastable

I created a simple text file with one line containing the domain I would
like to receive mail to.
I then reloaded postfix (sudo postfix reload) and tested it again.

I worked.
I added another domain in this text file and added another address in
/etc/postfix/virtual and it worked to.

It seems to be working if I specify the doman directly in
virtual_alias_domains in main.cf

How do I tell it to take the domains from a file and not from the line
itself?

Hi,



Did you type postmap virtual  & postmap transport ?

Hello,



I have a new postfix server running on a virtual host.

I would like to forward mails sent to domains on this machine to other
addresses.

for example, if domain example.com resolves to my machine, I would like to
forwared mail sent to ori at example.com to ori at helicontech.com



I wrote in /etc/postfix/virtual:

ori at example.com ori at helicontech.co.il



I also wrote in /etc/postfix/transport

example.com helicontech.co.il



I restarted postfix, sent a test (from different address, not from
ori at helicontech.co.il)

I then looked at /var/log/mail.log



I have seen connect message from google.com (I sent the mail using gmail)

I then saw a message like to=<ori at helicontech.co.il> with status=sent



However the mail never reached the destination.



What have I done wrong?
