postfix forwarding using /etc/aliases
Nick
who uses postfix. Needless to say, I'm unfamiliar with everything
postfix. Also, I'm trying to use the provided virtualmin/webmin
interface, and mostly stay out of root SSH.
I have an e-mail address li...@mydomain.com. When users send messages
here, the messages get redirected to us...@domaina.com and
us...@domainb.com. In sendmail I accomplish this via the
virtusertable. On this new server, it puts in an entry into the /etc/
aliases file like this:
list: us...@domaina.com,us...@domainb.com
The forward works, but the recipients do not see who the message was
originally sent To. The To: field is blank....
How can I make it behave like sendmail's virtusertable, and populate
the To: field to the address the message was originally sent to?
Many thanks!

I figured it out, never mind. Apparently telnetting to port 25 and
manually going through an SMTP transaction needs more than just
FROM:<us...@domain.com> for the TO: header to work properly.
