Topic: Alias problems

This is a general question about aliases.

I'll describe our scenario so it is easier to understand the problem.

We have a domain(aaa.com) in a iRedMail Pro installation, it works great.
We have another domain from the same company(bbb.com) in a hosting company, also works great.
In the domain bbb.com we have an alias, alias@bbb.com that is a redirect to email1@aaa.com and email2@aaa.com.

Our problem is that if an email is sent to alias@bbb.com, the bbb.com server will try to send it to email1@aaa.com and email2@aaa.com, but the aaa.com server(iRedMail) will reject, as the sender is not logged in(It is coming from another mail server):

postfix/smtpd[28344]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.bbb.com[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]: 553 5.7.1 <someemail@aaa.com>: Sender address rejected: not logged in; from=<someemail@aaa.com> to=<email1@aaa.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.bbb.com>

How can I solve this issue? I want to have only my server as a sender to this domain aaa.com, but at the same time I need to create those kind of redirections from another domain.

Regards,

Re: Alias problems

OMG, i just realized that i made a mistake while answering same question in our Chinese support forum.

This issue can be solved with SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme), but Postfix doesn't natively support it.

This Overview page clearly describes how it works: http://www.libsrs2.org/overview.html

This need to be done in aaa.com or bbb.com? The sender or the forwarder?

I'll read the links you gave me this afternoon...

Thanks!
