[Mageia-sysadm] aliases system and postfix

[Michael Scherer]

Hi,

As said previously ( in svn commit log ) and as announced since a long
time, the aliases @mageia.org have been deployed. 

After careful reading of the whole postfix documentation and proper
meditation, I was able to do it in 30 minutes ( yes, after telling I
would need to be very careful ). There is likely some stuff to change
( use virtual_aliases_maps instead of aliases_maps etc ), but it work.

So far, the only group to have aliases is the mga-founders one, but
there is plan to add others.

In order to do that : 
- edit modules/postfix/manifests/init.pp
- seek aliases_group variables 
- add the ldap group to the end
- commit


What is left to do :

- find a way to map root@ to the sysadmin group, press@ to the comm
team, and same for contact at .
( I was on it, but this requires to deploy a whole subdomain
team.mageia.org, and there is surely a better way )

- make sure that a secondary mx is installed and working

- make sure that a secondary ldap is deployed

- move the mx to alamut

- decide who can get a aliases now, and write documentation and warn
team for that


I will send a email to founders@ later, once I have checked SPF and
others stuff like this ( ie, check that we can reasonably use aliases
without much trouble )
