Fair warning: I haven't Googled this yet. I have a hunch I'll find a bunch of stuff that is almost, but not quite, completely wrong for what I'd like to do. Problem: there is an external email address to which I can send email but my wife can't. This is due to an incredibly FUBAR remote mail server, over which I have no control and which has not improved in years, nor will it. Ever. :-( Note we're both using my server, on my domain, mine works because of a special exception on the remote side that we can't get duplicated. (Don't ask.) Work-around: when my wife replies to that address, she can manually change it to a different one that works. Except sometimes she forgets, and the broken server never send a failure message either so the reply just vaporises. Proposed Solution: Ideally, if my wife sends an email to the bad address (due to hitting reply and forgetting to change it), Postfix will re-write with a good address, but if I send it will do nothing. Worst case, I just re-write everything going to the bad address with the good one. IOW, ideally: me --> bad.com = just works wife --> bad.com --} postfix changes to good.com = works Anyone have any clues? I'm using stock Lenny Postfix 2.5.5-1.1 if that matters.
