Hello,

I have a Postfix instance running in a dmz then passing mail to an
internal mailserver running postfix/dovecot. Currently, I verify a user
exists against an LDAP database from the DMZ and if successful, pass the
email over to another machine on the lan.

My question is this:

Can i get rid of some of the following entries? Some are somewhat
useless considering this Postfix instance is just checking to see if a
user exists and then relaying to another machine. I guess the problem
is that these parameters are repeated on the postfix instance running on
the lan. I'd like to remove:

virtual_mailbox_base = /mail
virtual_uid_maps = static:500
virtual_gid_maps = static:500

[root@smtp1 ~]# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
local_recipient_maps =
mail_owner = postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = wbdhost.com
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
virtual_gid_maps = static:500
virtual_mailbox_base = /mail
virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/virtual_domains
virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf
virtual_uid_maps = static:500
