"Bug" in documentation - postfix: single domain settings #42

Closed daoane closed 3 years ago

daoane commented 5 years ago

This report is about a "bug" in the Sympa documentation and refers to page https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/install/configure-mail-server-postfix.html => "Single domain setting" => "3. Edit Postfix main.cf":

alias_database = (...existing parameter value...), hash:$SYSCONFDIR/aliases.sympa.postfix

should read

alias_database = (...existing parameter value...), hash:$SYSCONFDIR/aliases.sympa.postfix, hash:$SYSCONFDIR/sympa_transport

Without including hash:$SYSCONFDIR/sympa_transport (as on the present documentation page), all incoming messages to any of the mailing lists will be rejected with "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table". With hash:$SYSCONFDIR/sympa_transport on the alias_database line, incoming messages are correctly distributed to their respective mailing lists.

I think you mixed two:

With single domain setting, sympa and sympabounce transports won't be used: Only local transport is used.

Anyway I recommend to use virtual domain setting even if you have only one domain to be managed by Sympa.
