Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/926

Originally assigned to: @tonioo on GitHub.

I have a special account for relaying messages using various email addresses. Added the required Sender addresses but I kept getting the following error in mail.log:

553 5.7.1 <example.adress@domain.com>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user specialaccount@modoboa-host;

Started lurking in /etc/postfix folder and found out that modoba already has a mapping for this case, but there is no reference in main.cf:

mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-sender-login-mailboxes-extra.cf

Added this mapping to smtpd_sender_login_maps and the Sender address is being accepted for relaying now:

smtpd_sender_login_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-sender-login-mailboxes.cf mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-sender-login-aliases.cf mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-sender-login-mailboxes-extra.cf

Please let me know if I'm thinking it right.

You're right, I forgot to mention in the documentation and in the upgrade procedure. I'll fix it asap. Thanks for the feedback!
