Before you go any further, you should read RFC 3834, "Recommendations
for Automatic Responses to Electronic Mail":

... particularly section 2, which begins (with admirable directness) "An

please respect my signature, if you use multiple sh files to update via
cron, then you might combine all sh into one cron script and end it all
with one single postfix reload, if not using postgresql :)

here i just move cidr maps to postgresql so it does not need to reload

after a lot of research, I have this script

I get the copy and sender gets a copy, but how do I get Postfix to use this
script
here is the script:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t <<EOF
To: $1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

This is a test email.

It's a bit ironic that you're summarily eliminating the one interface
you already know very well, which would work perfectly for you. I'd
guess this is due to...

Fear. You fear the unknown system you have zero experience with, so you
desire to completely isolate it from anything else. This is a mistake.

A few challenges then I suspect.
Postfix does SMTP, you need a different service for IMAP
It is likely easier (to maintain) a full solution (i.e. zarafa, zimbra)
instead of a combination of services (postfix/dovecot)

The point you make about low maintenance complicates things especially
since there are multiple components that make up a solution.

No. But people use webmin or similar to control their Unix systems
with Postfix as one of the managed components.

None of this is Postfix-specific. Postfix is just an MTA, it routes
email messages, it is not a mailstore. Perhaps you're looking for
Zimbra or something similar or perhaps a bit simpler like Dovecot.

grkni...@scent-team.com (Brian Evans) — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:57:18 UT

I think you misunderstand what Postfix is.

Postfix receives mail for valid recipients then passes it on to a
delivery agent.
It has no administrative functions like you are seeking.
It can look up valid recipient via SQL or ldap or static lists.
Then it delivers as directed to an agent. There are a couple of simple

greg.dew...@gmail.com (Greg Deward) — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:49:30 UT

In our conversations, the overall goal was to have a stand-alone mail server running Ubuntu and whatever mail packages are installed in [as close to default as possible] configuration. The server should remain isolated and not be connected to any other box or resource. We would call into it programmatically for all administrative functions. Since we are a Microsoft shop, there is an overwhelming concern (read "fear") that we will be less qualified to maintain the platform as we add other services to the mix... in essence, we need to keep the overall mail platform as simplistic as possible to increase the chance that our folks can maintain it with ease. Unless an LDAP server was an absolute requirement for Postfix we could not look at it. And, more than likely, if it was a requirement, we would probably look to a different product.

Ah, ok.

Well you can run OpenLDAP (for example) as a backend in the same way you
could use AD.

Postfix can use multiple backends depending on your needs.

What requirements do you have?

Sorry... should have specified... cannot integrate with AD or the Microsoft environment. This needs to remain entirely stand-alone. This means our member base will be stored in the application's database and we will need to call out to Postfix to manually perform account provisioning and the like.

Re: Advice Needed / .NET Postfix Control

serge.fonvi...@gmail.com (Serge Fonville) — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:18:34 UT

Hi,

From your mail it seems you desire a backend that can handle all that, you
should be able to setup postfix to retrieve its users from AD.
