Not sure on this one, I know /etc/aliases is meant to be local delivery accounts but I am getting Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; for the root and postmaster emails when I send to them from outside my network. postmaster: root root: [email protected] ...postconf -n : alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = mail.fluffyrodent.co.uk, localhost, localhost.localdomain myhostname = mail.fluffyrodent.co.uk mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES receive_override_options = no_address_mappings relayhost = smtp.blueyonder.co.uk sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_maildir_extended = yes virtual_maildir_limit_message = "The user you are trying to reach is over quota." virtual_overquota_bounce = yes virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 Do I have to set up forwardings? I dont think I did previously. Regards, Stephen. P.S. I noticed in Section 5 Apply Quota Patch To Postfix of http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-u...rier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-centos-6.0-x86_64 Add Patch0: postfix-vda-v10-2.8.2.patch to the # Patches stanza, and %patch0 -p1 -b .vda-v10 to the %setup -q stanza the version numbers of the portions to add do not agree with the previously downloaded ones.
Do I have to put something in the Forwardings table if I want to receive mail to [email protected] , postmaster@... , webmaster@... from outside? as I mentioned before /etc/aliases only seems to work internally?
[SOLVED] /etc/aliases only working when mail sent locally Im presuming yes as placing the desired info in the Forwardings table works - local server mail already worked.
