I want to have a valid username/password for an account for sending purposes - but when receiving this is an alias that broadcasts to several users.
Example: accountspayable@mydomain.com - is an alias for jane@mydomain.com, june@mydomain.com, and john@mydomain.com. However - any mails sent (from a particular client software) should all only show "accountspayable" as the sender.
How would I implement this? I'm asking here because Dovecot serves as the authentication mechanism for my SMTP server (Postfix) via LDAP lookups.
I would do this with a Mailman mailing list (of course I'm a Mailman developer, and as they say, when your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail - YMMV)
If you had Mailman installed you just set up your accountspayable@mydomain.com list as a Mailman 'anonymous' list. Then any mail to accountspayable@mydomain.com is distributed to the list members From: accountspayable@mydomain.com.
Thanks - but that wasn't my question. I already have the distribution side solved via simple alias expansion. The question is - and I'm probably overthinking this as usual - can I setup a user account for SMTP authentication purposes, which does not let me log in for IMAP/POP3 use?
