I've currently three domains. I want to setup (mostly) the same aliases for every domain and retrieve the mails on Thunderbird. It already works to send/receive mails for [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] but now I need the some aliases.
If I send a mail from [email protected] to one of these alias-addresses (see below), the mail comes back with the error: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table.
I also don't understand why /etc/aliases is still active. I don't want to use this, because it can't handle same aliases on different domains.
And I already tried to change alias_maps to virtual_alias_maps, but it has no effect.
Following aliases/mails should forward its mails to contact@domain1.com
Following aliases/mails should forward its mails to contact@domain2.net
Following aliases/mails should forward its mails to contact@domain3.de
