Postfix Configuration

[mdarby]

I know that it is possible (albeit not supported nor condoned) to use Postfix instead of Sendmail with Scalix.

I've copied over a known working main.cf and master.cf from my old email server to my new Scalix server. Email is sending just fine, but Postfix doesn't recognize Scalix users when a correctly addressed email arrives. It looks for the user's Maildir, and if found, correctly delivers the message. If the user does not have an Unix account setup, the message is bounced as 'User not found'

I've commented out the 'home_directory' option, but am at a loss with what to do next. Any thoughts?

This post should tell you what you need to know:

Obviously you can skip the changes to master.cf if you're not using Amavisd-New.

Wow, how did I miss this thread in my search?

Thanks for the pointer!

I had postfix configured for use with Scalix (easy to do) and noticed that the administration console was broken. This was a problem that was never resolved. Our solution was to just simply leave postfix alone with amavis, clam, frox, and spamassassin on a separate firewall machine and route the mail to and from the scalix machine. This also enables use of a postfix friendly vacation program that does not reply to every message (including spam) because outlook/scalix both do not have the ability (at least easily) to rewrite the subject line with a reply marker.
