Hi all, I used the Perfect Setup Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 howto install, and I'm having problems getting email to work on my machine. When following the install, I changed server1.example.com to foo.com (real domain name replaced with generic). Inside ISPConfig I set up another domain name, bar.com. Going to www.foo.com and www.bar.com via Firefox works just fine, but it's the email I'm having problems with. When I go under sites and into www.bar.com and go to add an email, I add it there successfully. If I go into /etc/local-host-names I see that bar.com is in there, and when I go to /etc/postfix/virtusertable I see that the email accounts I add are there. However, when I send an email to any account I have set up, I always get the same error message: Code: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table When I go into the ISPConfig Admin Panel, Under Server Settings, the VirtUserFile is /etc/postfix/virtusertable and the Sendmail CW is /etc/postfix/local-host-names. If there is any other information I can provide, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

what's inside your virtusertable file? mine contain this ################################### # # ISPConfig virtusertable Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### [email protected] web1_test.1.real.name [email protected] web1_test.1.real.name [email protected] web1_test.1.real.name [email protected] web1_test.1.real.name #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! #### i only have one user since i just recently installed the ispconfig application. mail sending and receiving are both working properly.
Please add this line at the end of the main.cf file: virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable and restart postfix.
shouldn't he run a postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable before restarting or does the hashfile already exist?
Hi everyone, Thanks till and Ben for the replies. I did what till requested, restarted postfix, and it worked! Just a few questions so I can understand this more. What does that line do till, and secondly, what does a postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable do? And finally, did I do something wrong in the initial setup, or is this an extra step that needs to be added to the HOWTO? Thanks guys!!
It adds the "database" (well, it's just a text file) with the valid email addresses to the Postfix configuration. It transforms the text file into a format Postfix can read. The virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable line is added by the ISPConfig installer, so I guess you or someone else accidentally removed it. And the postmap command is run automatically by ISPConfig.
I use google mail hosting for my domain, and I get same error although I have been added virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable to main.cf. Before moving mail hosting to google, mail sever is working fine
@quannv Ok, you mean that google is now the responsible mail server and not your server. This is something totally different as your server shall not be responsible for the mail anymore. You will have to set mailserver to external under Options in the website AND the co-domain options.
