Accounts and virtual conf split

[egavard]

#10 Separate virtuals and accounts.

Good job @dy0nysos!
But I'm thinking that aliases and redirects are 2 different things (and we need both).

user@domain.tld|otheruser@domain.tld,otheruser@otherdomain.tld is nice but with this, we have to manage 1 entry per alias, no?
I mean 1 real account, with 50 aliases will have 1 entry or 50 entries?

[egavard]

Sorry I thought I answered your question.

Here I'm managing redirects only. user@domain.tld to otheruser@domain.tld,anotherone@domain.tld etc.

In facts, if you need one mail to have several aliases, you'll have one line per alias.

Can you see a ( new ? ) file structure that will allows us to have several aliases for one email on a single line ?

Maybe could we add another conf file, aliases.cf with that kind of structure :
mailtobealiased|alias1,alias2,alias3 or something of this kind ?

[tomav]

Yes, this kind of format existed before the PR, aliases were managed, not redirects.

The point is that accounts.cf remains mandatory and must be parsed when the container starts because there are commands to execute to create these accounts.

We can add a new file format and parse it, but I think it's not really necessary.
Aliases and redirects may be static files in postfix format, just copied from /tmpto /etc/postfix/virtual.

Aliases and redirects are managed the same way.

Sorry, I'm on vacation and can't do more than answering at this time.
I'll be back on monday.

[egavard]

Okay, I'll change my code to change the behavior according to your proposition.

Enjoy your vacation ! 👍

Thank you.

I don't know why build fails on the docker registry. I'm re-trying locally.

[tomav]

I'm not blind, it works locally. Waiting for the registry.

[tomav]

Latest docker registry build is done.
