The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

I believe that with Postfix, you should be able to set up a regexp alias that 
will redirect the bounces appropriately.  I have used a similar method to 
make the auto-provisioning work with certain list name patterns.

In your virtual.re file you should have something like the following.  You 
can use '$1' to represent the part in the first brackets, etc, as with normal 
regexp matches.  If this is not appropriate to your use, you can set up an 
appropriate alias.  Then, you can make an address alias map to a 
"|bouncequeue" alias (Im not sure if you can use the | alias in here or if it 
must be in the normal aliases file)

/^bounce+(.*)\@(.*)$/                    bounce+$1
/^(.*)-owner\@(.*)$/                     |/usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue $1@$2

In main.cf, you will have something like this:

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,regexp:/etc/postfix/virtual.re

Another way to do it is with transport maps (which we do).  In transport.re I 
have:

/^.*-owner\@list.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz$/ sympabounce:
/^.*\@list.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz$/       sympa:

Then in main.cf I have:

transport_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/transport.re

and in master.cf I have:

sympa       unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/queue       ${recipient}
sympabounce unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/bouncequeue ${recipient}

This takes care of the bounce processing.
