Hi All,

One of my users left for a big organization and, has usual, I used /etc/alias to forward him his emails to his new email address there.

Now we’ve got a problem, lots of people in his new organization still send him mails to the old address and the mailserver isn't accepting the emails back stating

… 550 rejecting spoofed message (in reply to RCPT TO command)

some mails from other entities are rejected due to strict implementation of SPF

… domain of facebookmail.com does not designate xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx as permitted sender (in reply to RCPT TO command)

I’m looking for a simple way to forward these emails has if someone in my organization had manually forward them, with a different (local) sender address.


If it possible?
 
Have you looked at the following:
I suspect that the problem is that it looks like your system is acting as a form of open relay, transmitting mail that neither originated by it, nor was destined for it. Of course systems like this are the holy grail for wannabe spammers. Instead, you should be able to use the alias mapping and rewrite capability in Postfix to clean up the headers while forwarding his mail.
