    If I set mail forwarding to a certain user it work's okay. After I remove this setting (and save) forwarding is still active.
    How do I remove it permanently ?

    Forwarding is removed if you empty the forwaring field and click on save.
    It may take up to a minute until the changed forwarding information is saved to the config files.

    More information

    I did try that and found that problem is not related to mail forwarding. It's something with the mail system.
    This is a little bit difficult to explain but I'll try with my bad english.
    I have two domains. Let's say they are domain1.com and domain2.com.
    Mail services with domain1.com works ok. In domain2.com there is mail user called [email protected]. Before I set this mail forwarding like this [email protected] goes to [email protected]. When I removed this setting mail is still received by [email protected]
    I tested more and found out that no matter what mail address I use to domain2.com it goes to [email protected].
    Example: mailto [email protected] > goes to [email protected]
    mailto [email protected] (does not exist) > goes to [email protected]

    These two isp sites have same kind of settings. Only difference that I found
    is PHP Safe mode. It is enabled in domain2.com.

    As i understand you have a website in ISPConfig with the domain domain1.com. Is domain1.com also the domainname of your Server?

    Postfix cant handle email correctly when the domainname of the server is identical to the domainname of one of the virtual sites. Postfix then routes all email to the first site.

    Same name

    Yes, that's correct, they are with the same name. Can you tell me how do I fix it ?

    Try to change your hostname to something like server1.domain1.com, maybe that is enough:

    echo server1.domain.com > /etc/hostname
    /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

    Then set the new server hostname in the ispconfig configuration file:

    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

    I was not correct with these settings. Here is some more information. Hope it helps, thanx so far. :)

    from server:
    /etc/hostname = machinename.domain1.com

    From ispconfig (domain1):

    server = machinename.domain1.com
    hostname = www
    domain = domain1.com
    ip address = 192.168.1.2

    Domain2:

    server = machinename.domain1.com
    hostname = www
    domain = domain2.com
    ip address = 192.168.1.2

    What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf as myhostname or mydomain? I guess it's www.domain1.com so you should change it to machinename.domain1.com and restart Postfix.

    Is machinename.domain1.com a Co-Domain of the web site www.domain1.com? If so, remove it!

    Checked that from ispconfig but it was not so. Although there was and empty co-domain which had only ip (servers) but no name. I removed it.
    Also I changed nameserver's ip's to correct values but problem still exists.
    I have a feeling that I have misunderstood something with settings.

    Shall I try to change server's hostname ? I have not tried it yet.

    Thanks, Jysse

    What's in /etc/hosts? Can you post that file here?

    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost machinename
    192.168.1.2 machinename.domain1.com machinename

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

    machinename is a replacement for the real name... :eek:

    Can you try to put a completely different hostname into /etc/postfix/main.cf (e.g. www.example.com) and restart Postfix? Just for testing purposes...

    Tried that too with a line:

    myhostname = www.example.com

    Same problem continues. I have not said it before but sending mail works fine from both domains.
