Thierry B:

,

I'd like to use maildrop so that when I receive a mail for thie@linux.thierry.eu.org (which is a virtual mailbox), it's copied to thbo@free.fr

I try that in /etc/maildroprc

You have to do this with postfix (which is your MTA) and not with maildrop.

[...]

but I have this error in the logs;

[...]

These are all Postfix logs, which have nothing to do with maildrop ... they mostly show that you have to read up on everything to do with the Internet and Domain Name Service ... follow-ups to the Postfix list, please.

Depending on your maildrop version (1.0.7 with libauthlib is the most recent), /var/log/${maildrop-log-depending-on-your-system} can be quite explicit (older versions are not at all explicit).

This is my line of maildrop in my master.cf (postfix)

# maildrop. See the Postfix MAILDROP_README file for details. maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

You might probably end up by using ${user} rather than ${recipient}. But the basic aliasing has to be done by postfix, rather than maildrop.
