When using PostfixAdmin to deactivate a mailbox, I notice the associated entry in the alias table remains active=1.
We noticed this because if a mailbox is set up to actually deliver to another final destination address, but is deactivated, then on our setup, senders to this address will get BOTH a NonDelivery Report AND their message will be forwarded to the final destination address :(
(If the forwarding mailbox has it's "Deliver to the local mailbox" UNchecked, then there is NO NDR/bounce back to senders, and the forwarding just works - so the Active Y/N toggle does nothing!)
If deactivating a mailbox in PostfixAdmin also marked the associated alias table entry active=0, then our setup would work as expected.
Granted our setup's behavior has to do with how we prepare the list of what addresses to accept/reject (from the alias table only) and get that out to our boundary / receiving / spam scanning postfix machines -- we could recode there to more intelligently look at not only the alias table but also check active status of correlated mailbox table entries. . . it just seems like this may be considered a bug by the PostfixAdmin project -- like why does the alias table even have an active column if it never toggles?
Thanks in advance for your consideration if this is a bug (or a feature!?)
