How do I use the -m parameter from within Postfix? Does that need to be
included in the LDA definition within master.cf?
I have a total of about ten email address and I'd like each put into a
different mailbox. By using the -m parameter, I can set up ten dovecot
configurations within master.cf and then map each email address via the
transport table. I can see how this will work, but it doesn't seem very
scalable. Is there any better way?
Or said another way: the -m parameter to deliver works beautifully when
I use it from within procmail for other email addresses. But how do I
efficiently use the -m parameter (or equivalent) from within postfix
given that I have about 10 namespace/mailbox combinations to put mail into?
Thank you.
