I have Postfix configured to use MariaDB to hold data. Everything is managed through webmin.
This is what my forwardings table looks like (the first row is supposed to capture everything that's sent to an undefined alias):
I just found out that emails sent to [email protected] end up in the throwaway local virtual mailbox, while those sent to [email protected] are correctly forwarded to [email protected].
As a test, I created a new alias ([email protected]) and emails sent to this address are forwarded correctly to my gmail mailbox.
These aliases, and there are a bunch of them, are only defined in the database. Any idea how to even begin to figure out what's going on here?
Thanks!
EDIT: In case it helps, here's a sanitized excerpt from /var/log/maillog:
