Brand new single server Centos 6 ISPConfig 3 /last version/ Postfix works - sending and receiving email for root without problem. In ISPConfig I have added: Email -> Email accounts -> Domain added new domain example.com after that in Email -> Email accounts -> Email Mailbox added new mailbox [email protected] Now I login thru Webmail (squirrelmail) to this virtual account. Sending emails without problem. Rceiving emails from myself (from [email protected] to [email protected]). The problem is that I can not receive email to this box from outside. Always receive SMTP 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected. User unknown in local recipient table. I'm fighting with this second day without any success ... Please help. Nothing in mail error log. Most probably postfix does not loading properly virtual mailboxes from mysql table. How to fix this?
This might be a dns problem and not a email problem. If sending in webmail works, then your ispconfig server is configured correctly and that you dont get error in the mail log seconds that. My guess is that the MX record of the domain points to a different server and not your ispconfig server. If that would be the case, then webmail would not be working too.
Just checked with mxtoolbox Everything seems ok. MX points to right server. Reverse DNS FAILED! This is a problem. 0 seconds - Good on Connection time Not an open relay. 1.295 seconds - Good on Transaction time Can this reverse DNS be the problem?
This can not be MX record problem, because I receive mails for [email protected] (real user) but can not receive mails for [email protected] (virtual user)
The reverse dns should be fixed, but ist most likely not the source of the problem. I dont think that mxtoolbox can check if your server is the right one, it just checks that the dns configuration is valid. run: dig MX yourdomain.tld on the shell of your server. It should return you the MX record and also the a record where the mx points to. The IP address of the a record that dig returns must be identical with the IP address of your server. Beside that, where do you get the error "SMTP 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected. User unknown in local recipient table."? In the mail.log of your server or in the email that is returned.
Have you used example.com as hostname or mailname for the server? As written in the perfect setup guides, the hostname and mailname have to be a subdomain like server1.example.com and not example.com. If you would use example.com as hostname, then this domain is blocked for mail receiving in postfix for all virtual mail users. So if you used example.com as name of your server, then you will have to change that in the postfix main.cf, in /etc/hosts and also in the centos network configuration utility.
I have just run it and all is perfect. MX record shows smtp.myserverdomain.com and the A record for smtp.myserverdomain.com is the right IP. I got this as pop-up from my Mozzila Thunderbird on my home PC, when I'm trying to send email to [email protected] I mean the message is right after I click "Send" not some "failed delivery" email.
My hostname is server1.myhostdomain.com I have added example.com in ISPConfig (there is also vhost for this domain example.com which works ok)

Just send and receive successfully email to [email protected] from the server shel using telnet, but still no success from outside
FIXED !!!! Already working. I have added smtp.myserverdomain.com smtp to /etc/hosts There was only server1.myserverdomain.com server1 Now works. Very strange but fact. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL
