Problem deleting Mail Alias if it contains a Description

Submitted by andreychek on Tue, 04/13/2010 - 10:30

A Virtualmin customer is having problems removing email aliases that contain descriptions.

I created a test alias on their server named test_eric@example.com. I added the test "blah blah" for a description. When I attempt to delete it, I see this error in the miniserv.error logs:

Not deleting line 459 from /etc/postfix/virtual for key test_eric@example.com which actually contains # blah blah

If I first remove the text from the description, I'm able to remove the alias without a problem.

Hi Eric,

This is a Webmin 1.500 bug - there is a check against deleting the wrong line from the virtual file that triggers when an alias has a comment. It will be fixed in the 1.510 release though..

Just for the record, I found this one, too :) - and this ticket upon searching. Thanks for the solution, and the upcoming fix.
