[Mageia-sysadm] aliases system and postfix

Tue Mar 8 22:50:09 CET 2011

Hi,
+
+As said previously ( in svn commit log ) and as announced since a long
+time, the aliases @mageia.org have been deployed. 
+
+After careful reading of the whole postfix documentation and proper
+meditation, I was able to do it in 30 minutes ( yes, after telling I
+would need to be very careful ). There is likely some stuff to change
+( use virtual_aliases_maps instead of aliases_maps etc ), but it work.
+
+So far, the only group to have aliases is the mga-founders one, but
+there is plan to add others.
+
+In order to do that : 
+- edit modules/postfix/manifests/init.pp
+- seek aliases_group variables 
+- add the ldap group to the end
+- commit
+
+
+What is left to do :
+
+- find a way to map root@ to the sysadmin group, press@ to the comm
+team, and same for contact at .
+( I was on it, but this requires to deploy a whole subdomain
+team.mageia.org, and there is surely a better way )
+
+- make sure that a secondary mx is installed and working
+
+- make sure that a secondary ldap is deployed
+
+- move the mx to alamut
+
+- decide who can get a aliases now, and write documentation and warn
+team for that
+
+
+I will send a email to founders@ later, once I have checked SPF and
+others stuff like this ( ie, check that we can reasonably use aliases
+without much trouble )
