Alternative postmaster address if first fails

0

I am using postfix to send status reports about my server to an external email address. If the delivery fails the postmaster is informed. It's address is defined in /etc/aliases with something like

postmaster: me@example.com

Is it possible to provide a second email address (like me@otherexample.com) which would be used in case the delivery to me@example.com fails for some reason?

Yes, just write

postmaster: one@one.example, two@two.example

See aliases(5) manpage.

I just recommend to have one address local stored: if postfix has problem, it could also not send mails.

Thanks for your answer, but the problem is that now if both one@one.example, two@two.example are wokring addresses, both get the mail. I would like one@one.example to be used as postmaster and only if the delivery fails to one@one.example for some reason, then send the mail to two@two.example. – MiB – 2016-03-30T12:20:43.177
