problem forwarding to aliases

[bwragg]

Hi,

I've hit a problem with forwarding email to aliases and just wanted to check if this can or can't be done. We have a user setup on domain1 with a forward setup to redirect mail to a user on domain2. The thing is the user on domain 2is an alias. e.g:

user1@domain1.com -> alias@domain2.com-> realuser@domain2.com

Is this possible to do some how? I (as the postmaster) keep getting it bouncing back to me.

Thanks,

bwragg

This should work fine. Please post the exact error messages that you get back and the ones from the mail log.

further to this problem I have a client with the following forward setup:

userx@domain1.com -> usery@domain2.com

If you email userx@domain1.com the mail gets delivered but when it gets forwarded to usery@domain2.com.au it bounces to me as the administrator and doesn't get delivered to usery@domain2.com.au.

I've checked the logs and they show this (I've changed the names to follow the example above):

Please check the /etc/aliases file if you have an alias there for "usery" that might redirect the email.

[bwragg]

Thanks till, I just checked the file and I can see usery's real name is webmaster@.

This is listed in the file as:

webmaster: root

and then later on in the file root come to me:

root: myemail@mydomain.com

Does this alias file effect all domains that are held on my machine? E.g if the I host 10 domain and they all have a webmaster@theirdomain.com setup they will all still come to me?

Thanks,

Yes, if you've disabled ISPConfig's username prefixes (like web1_).
