I have vhcs2 setup with several virtual domains. My postfix log keeps reporting the following error: Code: Sep 19 12:00:01 viking postfix/trivial-rewrite[32391]: warning: do not list domain todiefor.nu in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Sep 19 12:11:51 viking postfix/trivial-rewrite[782]: warning: do not list domain todiefor.nu in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Sep 19 12:18:31 viking postfix/virtual[2012]: fatal: gethostbyname: Success Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/virtual socket while reading input attribute name Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: private/virtual socket: malformed response Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: transport virtual failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description in my master.cf file I have set the following because of some of my mails being reject with an incorrect HELO statement. Code: #myhostname = viking myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu #mydomain = viking.local mydomain = todiefor.nu myorigin = $mydomain Now, my server hostname is called "viking.todiefor.nu" and my reversedns is "viking.todiefor.nu" In my vhcs2 domains file i have one of many other vdmn_entry records which reads: Code: todiefor.nu vdmn_entry Bearing in mind that i use a few other virtual hosts with completely different names, what do i need to do to stop the above error happening in postfix mail.warn? I don't *seem* to have a problem sending or receiving emails but i'd like to stop the warning anyway. Is the above warning a problem?
es myhostname = viking mydomain = viking.local i've had to put it back like this for now becuase the emails stopped working. But the HELO tag reads just "viking" instead of "viking.todiefor.nu". Any ideas how i can fix this without interferring with the virtual hosting domain?
Change myhostname back to Code: myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu What's in mydestination? Maybe you can post the full main.cf here (please strip out the comments)?

I still have a strange problem that I've recived mail from people and its come trhough as "[email protected]" which is weird.
There's no mydestination line in your main.cf. What's the output of Code: postconf -d | grep mydestination ?
mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain sorry, i must have accidentally missed it when cutting and pasting. result of that command is Code: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost 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 relay_domains = $mydestination
Please run Code: postconf -e 'mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost' postconf -e 'myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu' postconf -e 'mydomain = $myhostname' and restart Postfix afterwards.
Thanks , Falko. Everything seems to be perfect now. I'd like to express my gratitude and thanks for everything on this site. I've pretty much used all your guides and knowledge here to set up my business server (I installed VHCS2 to manage my virtual hosting) and it's been a tough ride and i've learned a lot. I will defintely be supporting your site with the €35 subscription or whatever it was, it's worth the donation.
actually, I do have another question concering the mail log. host eni-mail01.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.4] said: 451 Invalid sender <[email protected]> (in reply to RCPT TO command) to=<[email protected]>, relay=eni-mail02.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.5], delay=282682, status=deferred (host eni-mail02.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.5] said: 451 Invalid sender <[email protected]> (in reply to RCPT TO command)) Are these errors with my server or problems with the destination?
is it possible to remove these items because they just seem to bounce around the server or will they disappear in time? It's obviously not sending them now with the right domain name since fixing it (this was the result of a mailing list of ours)
Didn't you run Code: postconf -e 'mydomain = $myhostname' ? Then viking.local shouldn't occur anymore in main.cf. Did you restart Postfix?
yes i did do that but it seems like mail from before I made this change. I have constant logs now of emails that didnt reach the destination. i don't know how to remove them.
Then the mails seem to be in your mail queue. Have a look at Code: man postqueue to learn how to delete specific emails. To delete all mails in the queue, run Code: postsuper -d ALL
