Is it possible for Postfix (on FC7) to recieve an email at a@example.com and automatically forward a copy to b@example.com and c@example.com and d@example.com? I can't use .forward files because this is a virtual server with virtual domains, there are no /home/user directorys for email accounts.

You can add a line to /etc/aliases to that effect:

a: b c d

The @example.com in your case is assumed, as I understand. Don't forget to run newaliases

Perhaps /etc/postfix/virtual is what you need? Take a look at the manpage virtual(5).

Well the server is hosted by GoDaddy and runs their Simple Control Panel.. I tried adding the aliases to /etc/postfix/turbopanel/virtual-alias but it doesn't seem to allow multiple lines of the same originating address. – Gary Apr 24 '10 at 9:23
I don't have a similar postfix installation by hand to test this on. But if I read the manpage correctly, the format is comma-separated addresses on a single line. For example: a@example.com b@example.com, c@example.com, d@example.com – Shtééf Apr 24 '10 at 10:14

The 'transport_maps' option in the postfix main.cf is the one that should be used.

The transport_maps points to /etc/postfix/transport.db file that contains the entries.

You can add the transport entries in /etc/postfix/transport file and run the 'postmap' command which will generate the transport.db file.
