To create a Postx-style alias:
1 Create the le /etc/postx/aliases, if none exists.
2 For each alias, make a line in the le with the following format:
alias:localaddress1,localaddress2,...
For example, for your domain example.com, if you want to give user name bob”an alias
of robert.fakeuser you enter:
robert.fakeuser: bob
This takes mail sent to your mail server for robert.fakeuser@example.com and sends it
to the real mail account, bob@example.com.
3 Save your le changes.
4 In the Terminal application, enter the following command:
postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
The text le is processed into a database for faster access.
5 At the prompt, enter the following command:
newaliases
The alias database will reload.
As a result, mail to robert.fakeuser@example.com is sent to user bob, giving Bob two
eective mail addresses, bob@example.com and robert.fakeuser@example.com.
For further information about creating and maintaining mail aliases, see /etc/postx/
aliases.
