<b>NAME</b>
|
|
transport - format of Postfix transport table
|
|
|
|
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
|
|
<b>postmap</b> <b>/etc/postfix/transport</b>
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
The optional <b>transport</b> file specifies a mapping from
|
|
domain hierarchies to message delivery transports and/or
|
|
relay hosts. The mapping is used by the <a href="trivial-rewrite.8.html"><b>trivial-rewrite</b>(8)</a>
|
|
daemon.
|
|
|
|
The file serves as input to the <a href="postmap.1.html"><b>postmap</b>(1)</a> command. The
|
|
result, an indexed file in <b>dbm</b> or <b>db</b> format, is used for
|
|
fast searching by the mail system. After updating this
|
|
table, issue the <b>postfix</b> <b>reload</b> command to make the change
|
|
visible.
|
|
|
|
The format of the transport table is as follows:
|
|
|
|
blanks and comments
|
|
Blank lines are ignored, as are lines beginning
|
|
with `#'.
|
|
|
|
<i>domain</i> <i>transport</i>:<i>nexthop</i>
|
|
Mail for <i>domain</i> is delivered through <i>transport</i> to
|
|
<i>nexthop</i>.
|
|
|
|
<i>.domain</i> <i>transport</i>:<i>nexthop</i>
|
|
Mail for any subdomain of <i>domain</i> is delivered
|
|
through <i>transport</i> to <i>nexthop</i>.
|
|
|
|
Note: transport map entries take precedence over domains
|
|
specified in the <b>mydestination</b> parameter. If you use the
|
|
optional transport map, it may be safer to specify
|
|
explicit entries for all domains specified in <b>mydestina-</b>
|
|
<b>tion</b>, for example:
|
|
|
|
<b>hostname.my.domain</b> <b>local:</b>
|
|
<b>localhost.my.domain</b> <b>local:</b>
|
|
|
|
The interpretation of the <i>nexthop</i> field is transport
|
|
dependent. In the case of SMTP, specify <i>host</i>:<i>service</i> for a
|
|
non-default server port, and use [<i>host</i>] or [<i>host</i>:<i>port</i>] in
|
|
order to disable MX (mail exchanger) DNS lookups. The []
|
|
form can also be used with IP addresses instead of host-
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
<b>EXAMPLES</b>
|
|
In order to send mail for <b>foo.org</b> and its subdomains
|
|
via the <b>uucp</b> transport to the UUCP host named <b>foo</b>:
|
|
|
|
<b>foo.org</b> <b>uucp:foo</b>
|
|
<b>.foo.org</b> <b>uucp:foo</b>
|
|
|

TRANSPORT(5) TRANSPORT(5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
When no <i>nexthop</i> host name is specified, the destination domain
|
|
name is used instead. For example, the following directs mail for
|
|
<i>user</i>@<b>foo.org</b> via the <b>slow</b> transport to a mail
|
|
exchanger for <b>foo.org</b>. The <b>slow</b> transport could be
|
|
something that runs at most one delivery process at a time:
|
|
|
|
<b>foo.org</b> <b>slow:</b>
|
|
|
|
When no <i>transport</i> is specified, the default transport is
|
|
used, as specified via the <b>default</b><i>_</i><b>transport</b> configuration
|
|
parameter. The following sends all mail for <b>foo.org</b> and its
|
|
subdomains to host <b>gateway.foo.org</b>:
|
|
|
|
<b>foo.org</b> <b>:[gateway.foo.org]</b>
|
|
<b>.foo.org</b> <b>:[gateway.foo.org]</b>
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the [] are used to suppress MX lookups.
|
|
The result would likely point to your local machine.
|
|
|
|
In the case of delivery via SMTP, one may specify
|
|
<i>hostname</i>:<i>service</i> instead of just a host:
|
|
|
|
<b>foo.org</b> <b>smtp:bar.org:2025</b>
|
|
|
|
This directs mail for <i>user</i>@<b>foo.org</b> to host <b>bar.org</b>
|
|
port <b>2025</b>. Instead of a numerical port a symbolic name may be
|
|
used. Specify [] around the destination in order to disable MX lookups.
|
|
|
|
The error mailer can be used to bounce mail:
|
|
|
|
<b>.foo.org</b> <b>error:mail</b> <b>for</b> <b>*.foo.org</b> <b>is</b> <b>not</b> <b>deliverable</b>
|
|
|
|
This causes all mail for <i>user</i>@<i>anything</i><b>foo.org</b>
|
|
to be bounced.
|
|
|
|
<b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b>
|
|
The following <b>main.cf</b> parameters are especially relevant
|
|
to this topic. See the Postfix <b>main.cf</b> file for syntax

|
|
command after a configuration change.
|
|
|
