I’ve been banging my head away at this for a while today and all I have is a headache.

Is there a (preferably generic) way to redirect *all* delivery to local accounts to $local@$mydomain instead of delivering to /var/mail/ ?

(I’m trying to setup a true NULL CLIENT configuration so that even ‘mail $local’ works on the client host)

cheers,
James

See the *second* paragraph.

Unfortunately, the problem with both of these configurations is that I cannot expose the root user such that the root account shows up as root@$myhostname

I could not see the ExposeRoot type functionality that Sendmail had. Does that exist? (I know I could have a sender_canonical_map but I don’t see a way to generalise having root being exposed without explicitly entering the hostname and therefore editing files for every system)

cheers,
James

See http://www.postfix.org/ADRESS_REWRITING_README.html, option
address masquerading.

See "delivering some addresses locally", in the
