May 3, 201412 yr I'm using postfix/courier setup on debian wheezy. I have set up several aliases to a mail address as redirections (e.g. contact@... -> info@... where info@ has a mailbox). If I try to send a mail with the alias as "from" address, I get an Error: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailableSender address is not allowed. Is this by design or a configuration problem? If it's by design, is there a way to allow this?
May 3, 201412 yr By design. You can edit the postfix config to change that behaviour. (somewhere in the smtp sender restrictions or similar...dont know by heart)
June 10, 201411 yr Author The question came up again, so I need to revisit this. I found this thread http://forum.froxlor.org/index.php/topic/11708-postfix-maincf-auth-lockern/ and the query seems to work, but I'm not certain if it is fully compatible with the current version of froxlor, since I did not have the time to fully analyse the default query.
June 13, 201411 yr Author Never mind, I found that the current version has this feature by default. It works for redirections as well as catchall adresses. My problem was a quirk in Thunderbird: You need to set the right SMTP-Server for additional identities, since it will not always use the "default" server and login from the parent account.
