When I upgraded my desktop last year, I was not able to get postfix to enable procmail, and I had a few other issues. So, instead I installed sendmail. Also, I set up some of the virtual domains on Asgard, which uses postfix. For some of the domains where I want a catch all account, I set up: @domain target Example: @bostongeeks.com david at thekramers.net I think that the target but eventually resolve to a real address. I have this set up in /etc/postfix/virtual.db. Also take a look at the table in /etc/postfix/master.cf And, please look at it while your mind is fresh, not at 3AM. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/rkKN+wA+1cUGHqkRAtiYAJ9ZmeGr0NLEZSQ3a9OPYexMzYwVmQCfZmDk qzlzclRNiSK50g9M53g9PTM= =uaRc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
