Postfix configuration - canonical address mapping












1















I am trying to configure the mapping in postfix to take all outgoing mail and redirect it to certain inboxes.



I have a working setup which will rewrite/redirect properly in the canonical_recipient for one email address like so:



/.*@.*/      myemail@email.com


and in main.cf it is defined as:



recipient_canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/canonical_recipient


Searching online there is not a lot of information about using a regexp with more than one email address.



It may also be possible to use a hash but i would think that a regexp is better for incomplete email addresses.



My main goal is to have certain emails used as a catchall, where the outgoing mails are redirected to only certain addresses. Would it also be possible to define a regexp that points to a list in the postfix configuration that would then redirect/rewrite to only the addresses present in that list? or can it only be defined in the canonical_recipient file
