I am using Postfix to send mail. I have it configured that only users listed in /etc/aliases or /etc/postfix/login_maps are allowed to receive mail and that users must be authenticated and can only send mail from their accounts and not as someone else.

Since I can't send mail out as noreply@example.com, I had to add noreply to the /etc/aliases file. I aliased it to user 'nobody' but when I send mail to noreply@example.com it just loops from noreply to nobody to noc to root and I get an email saying too many loops. Is there another user or another way to have noreply just reject mail completely rather than forward endlessly?

Remove the noreply alias and configure local_recipient_maps

The default setting, shown below, assumes that you use the default Postfix local(8) delivery agent for local delivery, where recipients are either UNIX accounts or local aliases:

to enable the default 

postconf -e local_recipient_maps=proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
