[PLUG] Postfix address re-write rules?
|
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.
Thanks,
JP

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
