Linux – Postfix: postmap error with pcre

linuxpcrepostfix

I am using postfix-pcre on debian linux.

When I run postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre and postmap pcre:/etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre, I get the following error:

postmap: warning: smtp_header_checks.pcre, line 1: record is in "key: value" 
format; is this an alias file?

What is wrong? I have this in /etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre:

# Remove sender's IP address information
/^Received: .*/ IGNORE
/^X-Originating-IP:/ IGNORE

You don't need to run postmap on postfix's pcre files.

In main.cf:

smtp_header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks

In dynamicmaps.cf:

# Use your real path to dict_pcre.so, below
pcre    /usr/lib/postfix/dict_pcre.so           dict_pcre_open

You should put this in your /etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks:

/^Received: .*/     IGNORE
/^X-Originating-IP:/    IGNORE

Then run

# /etc/init.d/postfix reload

as far as I can tell the SMTP transport doesn't do that. however you can set a dummy dns domain with MX records pointing to the hosts you want to relay mails to and use it in your transport map without squared brackets:

dest.example.com smtp:dummy.example.net
