# MTA Configuration (postfix)

> Important: If $alias_maps of Postfix is properly set up, "makefml newml" automatically prepares fml and postfix configuration for the new ML.

> See the Section called MTA Configuration (postfix) in Chapter 4 for the detail of postfix configuration.

"makefml" does not update system aliases (e.g. /etc/mail/aliases), but updates only alias file $ml_home_prefix/etc/mail/aliases file, which is used only for fml. "makefml" rebuilds $ml_home_prefix/etc/mail/aliases.db automatically, too.

## NOTE: Format Of /var/spool/ml/etc/mail/aliases

$ml_home_prefix/etc/mail/aliases has the following entry for elena@home.fml.org ML.

    ### <ALIASES elena@home.fml.org ML> ###

    # address for post
    elena: :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include
    owner-elena: fukachan

    # address for command
    elena-ctl: :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include-ctl
    owner-elena-ctl: fukachan

    # maintainer
    elena-request: elena-admin
    elena-admin: fukachan, elena-error

    # error analyzer
    elena-error: :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include-error
    owner-elena-error: fukachan

    ### </ALIASES elena@home.fml.org ML> ###

In the case of virtual domain, $ml_home_prefix varies with $virtual_maps.
