How do I set up postfix to store e-mail in a file instead of relaying it?
I created a new transport with a pipe command that writes e-mail down to a file.
Basically:
- Create a user that will own e-mail (or use an existing one). I called mine
email
mkdir /home/email/bin
-
Place the following script in
/home/email/bin/mail_eater
(this uses PHP, but you can write your own version in any language you like, it just appends stdin to a file):#!/usr/bin/php <?php $fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); $email = ""; while (!feof($fd)) { $email .= fread($fd, 1024); } fclose($fd); $fh = fopen('/home/email/email.txt','a'); fwrite($fh, $email."\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\n"); fclose($fh);
chmod a+x /home/email/bin/mail_eater
touch /home/email/email.txt
chmod a+r /home/email/email.txt
-
Create a new transport using this file by appending the following line in
master.cf
:file_route unix - n n - - pipe user=email argv=/home/email/bin/mail_eater
-
Use this as the default transport in
main.cf
:default_transport = file_route
There :)
You could put those domains into $mydestination
in main.cf
, so postfix will deliver it locally.
You can set up different local users if you want or you can setup a local catch-all address to deliver emails into just one account, more details here: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#luser_relay
For all domains:
mydestination = pcre:/etc/postfix/mydestinations
and /etc/postfix/mydestinations
should contain
/.*/ ACCEPT
I cannot test right now but it should work.
