Microsoft keeps putting my machine onto its blocked list (and no, it is
NOT being used for spam or for denial attacks or...) I suspect someone
does not like me and keeps complaining to MS about my address.
Anyway, some of my people I communicate with have alternate addresses. I
would like to have postfix translate an address like
dd...@msn.com to donal...@gmail.com since the user has a working gmail
address, and gmail does not block my address.
But I do not know how to get postfix to rewrite the address. (I often
get mail which is CC: to dd...@msn.com amongst others, and if I reply I
often forget to translate the address ( and besides, that is what
computers should be for, doing trivial tasks better than I can) and it
then bounces.
I thought maybe transport would work, but if so, I have no idea how to
do it.
dd...@msn.com donal...@gmail.com
or
dd...@msn.com smtp:donal...@gmail.com
in /etc/postfix/transport do not seem to work.
Putting the latter into /etc/postfix/relocated just bounces it back to
me, and does not deliver it to donal...@gmail.com

I would think it would be better to use the first example, then postix

would pass it to whatever server you have configured for forwarding.
