how to treat synonymous domain names as one
Hallo List Users,
I am curious if there is a way to rewrite domain name to another domain name. My goal is to provide authentication and mailboxes for the synonymous domains in a single source while keeping all other domains separate.
I have setup:
auth_username_format = %Lu
mail_location = /var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir
in userdb/passdb (passwd-file):
/etc/dovecot/%d/usersSay I have two synonymous domain names
my-domain-1.com my-long-named-domain-1.com
I want both to resolve to my-domain-1.com when %d variable is used in Dovecot configs, so that
passwd-file is /etc/dovecot/my-domain-1.com/users mailbox is /var/vmail/my-domain-1.com/user/Maildir
while keeping other domains unchanged
my-other-domain-2.com
should resolve to:
passwd-file is /etc/dovecot/my-other-domain-2.com/users mailbox is /var/vmail/my-other-domain-2.com/user/Maildir
thanks, Nikolai

symlink the passdb of both domains together, as well as the userdb files. If you use the same file for both passdb and userdb, symlink just this single file. Then add the "user" ExtraField to all users in passdb and userdb. E.g. for user XYZ add user=XYZ@my-domain-1.com

Hallo
Thanks for your reply. I thought about using symlinks, i do not like this solution. Anyway, it is acceptable for paths to passdb/userdb. Thanks for the hits about user=xxx ! I will use it for paths to mail directories. Thanks again!
Best regards, Nikolai
