Creating the postfix aliases database

Postfix uses a Sendmail-compatible aliases(5) table to redirect mail for local(8) recipients. Typically, this information is kept in two files: in a text file /etc/aliases and in an indexed file /etc/aliases.db. The command “postconf alias_maps” will tell you the exact location of the text file.

First, be sure to update the text file with aliases for root, postmaster and “postfix” that forward mail to a real person. Postfix has a sample aliases file /etc/postfix/aliases that you can adapt to local conditions.

Prevent subdomains and domain aliases in the DNS zones belonging to other users in Plesk.

By default, users can create new subdomains and domain aliases in the DNS zones belonging to other users. This means that they can set up Web sites and e-mail accounts which could be used for spamming, fishing or identity theft.

To prevent users from setting up domains and domain aliases in the DNS zones belonging to other users:

1. Go to Settings > Restrict Creation of Subzones (in the DNS group).
2. Select the Do not let users create DNS subzones in other users’ DNS superzones check box.
3. Click OK.
