    Hi,
    I have made an email-address in isp-config latest update made.
    I can send email but not receive email, the sender gets "unknown user".
    Mail from other Domains on the same server work normal.

    Where do i start looking for the problem, in the postfix logfiles i cannot find anything.
    Gratefull for any hint.

    [edit]
    seems my mistake, needed to change the hostname to "server.mydomain.tld" instead of "mydomain.tld"
    just renamed it, now see what happens.
    [edit2]
    problem solved

    regards,
    Jan

    The most likely reason is that you used that domain in postfix main.cf file or as server hostname. The hostname must be a subdomain and the domain may not be listed in myhostname or mydomain in postfix main.cf.
