mail_alias to a domain_alias is NOT being verified
Situation:
(Postfix, Courier & Maildrop)
- FirstDomain.com is configured to receive mail for John@FirstDomain.com.
- All mail for SecondDomain.com should be delivered to FirstDomain.com.
- A domain_alias is created for SecondDomain.com.
- NO other configurations for SecondDomain.com are made
- Mail to Lewis@SecondDomain.com is being accepted for delivery but remains in the queue because maildrop cannot deliver this to the mailbox.
- Log file reads: Unable to create a dot-lock at /var/vmail/FirstDomain.com/Lewis/12345.0.mail.domain.com
- [/var/vmail/FirstDomain.com/Lewis/] obviously does not exist because the alias 'Lewis' has not been defined.
Should the alias be checked before an attempt is made for delivery?
