Creating a new email user with `postfix` on Void

howto postfix

2020-01-28

This is possibly specific to my own super-minimal postfix setup on Void, but to add a new email user:

$ sudo adduser someone
$ sudo passwd someone

Amend /etc/postfix/virtual, as follows:

someone@domain.com someone

Regenerate the virtual alias table:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

And finally restart postfix:

$ sudo sv restart postfix
