Hi guys, i have the following issue. I have [email protected] and [email protected] . I go to account2 and set to forward all emails to account1. This is not working though. The emails are not forwarded. I have tried two lines at the account2 forward field : [email protected] web15_account1 Does anyone know how to sort this out ? If i enter an "external domain" i.e. [email protected] (hosted on a different server) it is working fine I appreciate your answers Regards, Leon
The forwarding should work even if the target is in the same domain. Which messages do you get in a mail log when such a message should be forwarded?
Thank you for your reply. This is a very fresh portion of the log. Although the email is delivered it is not forwarded to the other account of the same domain.

Is there a alias for "news" in the file /etc/aliases? If yes, remove this alias and then run: postmap /etc/aliases
Yes correct ! There are 4 entries : news: root newsadm: news newsadmin: news usenet: news Do i have to remove all or just the first ? How is this going to affect my system ? I mean why are these values here ? Thanks a lot
These values are defaults of your linux distribution. It has no negative effect on your system if you remove all the 4 entries.
I just tried that. I commented out the lines, run /usr/sbin/postmap /etc/aliases and even restarted postfix. The result is the same... Any more thoughts ? Leon
Actually when i ran the command it gave me a few warnings, but no errors. I am not sure whether this makes a difference. It am trying to find out where do i set the forwards from one address to another, to check it manually.
