Convenient virtual aliases special case #65

Closed paulhenrich closed 9 years ago

paulhenrich commented 9 years ago

I had an idea for a special case of mail_virtual_aliases that would help me a lot (I have ~100 aliases that I want to all go to my main account). I'm currently working against a branch of Sovereign, but just found Empress.

main_aliases:
  - foo@example.net
  - quux@example.net
  - postmaster@example.net (?)

Thoughts on if this is worth doing in Empress?

I am thinking that this could work along side of the suggested inference in #12. No need to manually identify name with primary key in either case as far as I can tell.

@paulhenrich Can you describe in a bit more detail what you'd like to do?

Empress already has a very simple way of defining mail_virtual_aliases::

mail_virtual_aliases:
  - root@yourdomain.com: "{{ admin_email }}"
  - postmaster@yourdomain.com: "{{ admin_email }}"

etc.

Sorry, I didn't realize that. That's almost exactly what I'm looking for. Closing.

@paulhenrich Glad to hear it. In your opinion, is there some way we could improve the documentation to make this more clear for others with the same use-case in the future?

Nope, this was just carelessness on my part. Sorry about the interruption. Keep up the awesome work.
