"Brief" summary/overview of changes. See the PR discussion or individual commits from the PR for more details.
---
Only applies to the `docs/content/**` content (_and `setup` command_). `target/` and `test/` can be normalized at a later date.
* Normalize to `example.com`
- Domains normalized to `example.com`: `mywebserver.com`, `myserver.tld`, `domain.com`, `domain.tld`, `mydomain.net`, `my-domain.tld`, `my-domain.com`, `example.org`, `whoami.com`.
- Alternative domains normalized to `not-example.com`: `otherdomain.com`, `otherdomain.tld`, `domain2.tld`, `mybackupmx.com`, `whoareyou.org`.
- Email addresses normalized to `admin@example.com` (in `ssl.md`): `foo@bar.com`, `yourcurrentemail@gmail.com`, `email@email.com`, `admin@domain.tld`.
- Email addresses normalized to `external-account@gmail.com`: `bill@gates321boom.com`, `external@gmail.com`, `myemail@gmail.com`, `real-email-address@external-domain.com`.
- **`faq.md`:** A FAQ entry title with `sample.domain.com` changed to `subdomain.example.com`.
- **`mail-fetchmail.md`:** Config examples with FQDNs for `imap`/`pop3` used `example.com` domain for a third-party, changed to `gmail.com` as more familiar third-party/external MTA.
* Normalize config volume path
- Normalizing local config path references to `./docker-data/dms/config/`: `./config/`, `config/`, \``config`\`, `/etc/` (_volume mount src path prefix_).
- Normalize DMS volume paths to `docker-data/dms/mail-{data,state,log}`: `./mail`, `./mail-state` `./data/mail`, `./data/state`, `./data/logs`, `./data/maildata`, `./data/mailstate`, `./data/maillogs`, (_dropped/converted data volumes: `maildata`, `mailstate`_).
- Other docker images also adopt the `docker-data/{service name}/` prefix.
* `ssl.md` - Use `dms/custom-certs` where appropriate.
* Apply normalizations to README and example `docker-compose.yml`

Common terms, sometimes interchangeably used or now invalid depending on context: `mail`, `mail container`, `mail server`, `mail-server`, `mailserver`,`docker-mailserver`, `Docker Mailserver`.
Rough transformations applied to most matches (_conditionally, depending on context_):
- 'Docker Mailserver' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail container' => '`docker-mailserver`' (_optionally retaining ' container'_)
- 'mail server' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail-server' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mailserver' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
Additionally I checked `docker run` (_plus `exec`, `logs`, etc, sub-commands_) and `docker-compose` commands. Often finding usage of `mail` instead of the expected `mailserver`
Additionally changes `mailserver` hostname in k8s to `mail` to align with other non-k8s examples.

title: 'User Management | Aliases'
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Please read the [Postfix documentation on virtual aliases](http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_alias) first.
|
|
|
|
You can use [`setup.sh`][docs-setupsh] instead of creating and editing files manually. Aliases are managed in `/tmp/docker-mailserver/postfix-virtual.cf`. An alias is a _full_ email address that will either be:
|
|
|
|
* delivered to an existing account registered in `/tmp/docker-mailserver/postfix-accounts.cf`
|
|
* redirected to one or more other email addresses
|
|
|
|
Alias and target are space separated. An example on a server with example.com as its domain:
|
|
|
|
```cf
|
|
# Alias delivered to an existing account
|
|
alias1@example.com user1@example.com
|
|
|
|
# Alias forwarded to an external email address
|
|
alias2@example.com external-account@gmail.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuring RegExp Aliases
|
|
|
|
Additional regexp aliases can be configured by placing them into `docker-data/dms/config/postfix-regexp.cf`. The regexp aliases get evaluated after the virtual aliases (container path: `/tmp/docker-mailserver/postfix-virtual.cf`). For example, the following `docker-data/dms/config/postfix-regexp.cf` causes all email sent to "test" users to be delivered to `qa@example.com` instead:
|
|
|
|
```cf
|
|
/^test[0-9][0-9]*@example.com/ qa@example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Address Tags (Extension Delimiters) an Alternative to Aliases
|
|
|
|
Postfix supports so-called address tags, in the form of plus (+) tags - i.e. `address+tag@example.com` will end up at `address@example.com`. This is configured by default and the (configurable !) separator is set to `+`. For more info, see [How to use Address Tagging (`user+tag@example.com`) with Postfix](https://www.stevejenkins.com/blog/2011/03/how-to-use-address-tagging-usertagexample-com-with-postfix/) and the [official documentation](http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#recipient_delimiter).
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
|
|
If you do decide to change the configurable separator, you must add the same line to *both* `docker-data/dms/config/postfix-main.cf` and `docker-data/dms/config/dovecot.cf`, because Dovecot is acting as the delivery agent. For example, to switch to `-`, add:
|
|
|
|
```cf
|
|
recipient_delimiter = -
|
|
```
