==<strong>Scenario</strong>==
You want to inform external senders the accounts have been relocated.
<br>

==Use relocated_maps for the Zimbra MTA==
<code><pre>
touch /opt/zimbra/conf/relocated

postmap /opt/zimbra/conf/relocated

postconf -e relocated_maps=lmdb:/opt/zimbra/conf/relocated

zmmtactl restart

postconf | grep ^relocated_maps
relocated_maps = lmdb:/opt/zimbra/conf/relocated     <<== you should see this
</pre></code>

==Example==
Edit  /opt/zimbra/conf/relocated<br>

The format to use is simple, the old company address first, followed by the new address on the <strong>same</strong> line.<br>

e.g.
<code><pre>
john@example.com          smithj@yahoo.com
</pre></code>
Anytime /opt/zimbra/conf/relocated is updated, be sure to run the postmap utility against it. 
<code><pre>
postmap /opt/zimbra/conf/relocated
</pre></code>

Now, anytime someone sends john@example.com a new message, they will get a bounce message back.<br>
<code><pre>
