Spam Control Configurations Cristiano Otto Von Trompczynski TTrraannssppoorrtt mmaappss The "Transport maps" option specifies optional tables with domain to (transport, nexthop) mappings. See transport(5) for syntax details. By default, this feature is disabled. Specify the types of databases to use. This option sets the "transport_maps" postfix variable. RReellooccaatteedd mmaappss The "Relocated maps" option specifies optional lookup tables with new contact information for users or even domains that no longer exist. By default, this feature is disabled. If you use this feature, run "postmap /etc/postfix/relocated" to build the necessary DBM or DB file after change, then "postfix reload" to make the changes visible. This option sets the "relocated_maps" postfix variable. VViirrttuuaall mmaappss The "Virtual maps" option specifies optional lookup tables to redirect specific addresses or even complete domains to another address. This is typically used to implement virtual domain support. By default, no address redirection is done. This option sets the "virtual_maps" postfix variable. CCaannoonniiccaall mmaappss The "Canonical maps" option specifies optional address mapping lookup tables. The mapping is applied to both sender and recipient addresses, in both envelopes and in headers. This is typically used to clean up dirty addresses from legacy mail systems, or to replace login names by Firstname.Lastname. See canonical(5) for details. By default, no canonical address mapping is done. This option sets the "canonical_maps" postfix variable. RReecciippiieenntt ccaannoonniiccaall mmaappss The "Recipient canonical maps" option specifies optional address mapping lookup tables for envelope and header RECIPIENT addresses. By default, no recipient-only address mapping is done. "Recipient canonical maps" is used before "Canonical maps" lookups. This option sets the "recipient_canonical_maps" postfix variable. SSeennddeerr ccaannoonniiccaall mmaappss The "Sender canonical maps" option optional address mapping lookup tables for envelope and header SENDER addresses. For example, you want to rewrite the SENDER address user@ugly.domain to user@pretty.domain, while still being able to send mail to the RECIPIENT address user@ugly.domain. By default, no sender-only address mapping is done. "Sender canonical maps" is used before "Canonical maps" lookups. This option sets the "sender_canonical_maps" postfix variable. AAlliiaass mmaappss The "Alias maps" option specifies the list of alias databases used by the local delivery agent. The default list is system dependent. On systems with NIS, the default is to search the local alias database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax details. This option sets the "alias_maps" postfix variable. AAlliiaass ddaattaabbaassee The "Alias database" option specifies the alias database(s) that are built with "newaliases" or "sendmail -bi". This is a separate configuration parameter, because alias_maps (see above) may specify tables that are not necessarily all under control by Postfix. This option sets the "alias_database" postfix variable.
