Re: Special character in email ID

Thank Jeroen. I have executed the postmap command against the virtual_users, when i issue postmap -q testuser@mydomain.com /etc/postfix/virtual_users it gives me the corresponding maildir value but when i say postmap -q #criticalemail1@mydomain.com/etc/postfix/virtual_users  --- syntax wrong postmap -q "#criticalemail1@mydomain.com"/etc/postfix/virtual_users  --- no result postmap -q ""#criticalemail1@mydomain.com""/etc/postfix/virtual_users  --- no result Now the question boils down to how to give escape characters in this case to query the map?? Here is my sample virtual_users fragment "#criticalemail1@mydomain.com"   ms23/007/000/002/106/@mail.dir "#criticalemail1@mydomain.another.com"  ms23/007/000/002/106/@mail.dir testuser@mydomain.com   ms11/007/000/002/108/@mail.dir ________________________________ From: Jeroen Geilman <jeroen@adaptr.nl> To: postfix-users@postfix.org Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 4:38 PM Subject: Re: Special character in email ID On 2011-11-15 23:36, Justin wrote: Thanks a lot, mean while i will validate using postmap command,iassume the bold text is the reference ?? > Yes, it is; it was buried beneath the irrelevance.
