I'd like to know if it is possible to configure postfix to redirect to many email addresses (including the original recipient) instead of only one?

Here is my scenario: When an e-mail is:

Sent from: [email protected]

Addressed to: [email protected]

Result: redirect e-mail to [email protected] and deliver to the original recipient

The question is partly answered here: https://serverfault.com/questions/284702/redirect-specific-e-mail-address-sent-to-a-user-to-another-user

    I don't know if postfix will duplicate mail for multiple users, but if you do not find a solution this is easily done with procmail (which gets run after postfix receives the mail) Commented Oct 20, 2014 at 13:52

Use an alias like this:

user: user, user2 

According to the local(8) man page:

When an address is found in its own alias expansion, delivery is made to the user instead.

So you don't get infinite recursion.

I fixed the problem with procmail.

Source: http://www.netikka.net/tsneti/info/proctips.php#forward

Below is an example:

#Get the sender's bare email address from the first "From" line FROM_=`formail -c -x"From " \ | expand | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g' \ | awk '{ print $1 }'` #Get the original subject of the email #Discard superfluous tabs and spaces #On some systems -xSubject: has to be -x"Subject: " SUBJ_=`formail -c -xSubject: \ | expand \ | sed -e 's/ */ /g' \ | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g'` #Whatever other recipes you'll use :0 * ^From:.*infolist@([-a-z0-9_]+\.)*infohost\.infodom # Avoid email loops * ! ^X-Loop: myid@myhost\.mydom { :0c: #Preserve a copy of the email Infolist.mail :0fwh #Adjust some headers before forwarding | formail -A"X-Loop: [email protected]" \ -A"X-From-Origin: ${FROM_}" \ -i"Subject: $SUBJ_ (fwd)" # Forward the email :0 [email protected] }
