Hello, I have setup a new postfix sertver and when I send mail to the domain (crispycode.com) the mail will bounce. If I send to the mail host name (mail.crispycode.com) the mail is shown as delivered in the logs. However if you inspect the cur directory on the command line in the user's virtual home directory it's empty and nothing shows up in the squirrelmail interface INBOX. I have virtual users and domains stored in a mysql database. This is what I see in the logs when I send to mail.crispycode.com First I try a telnet session sending mail to the intended recipient. It is bounced. Code: [root@mail ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.crispycode.com ESMTP Postfix HELO MAIL 250 mail.crispycode.com MAIL FROM: <[email protected]> 250 2.1.0 Ok RCPT TO: <[email protected]> 250 2.1.5 Ok DATA 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> Subject: Testing test test test . 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 41C6324F9F quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. Then I grep the message ID from the maillog and this is what I see: Code: [root@mail ~]# grep 41C6324F9F /var/log/maillog Nov 27 23:27:43 mail postfix/smtpd[18001]: 41C6324F9F: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Nov 27 23:27:56 mail postfix/cleanup[18010]: 41C6324F9F: message-id=<[email protected]> Nov 27 23:27:56 mail postfix/qmgr[17871]: 41C6324F9F: from=<[email protected]>, size=378, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 27 23:27:56 mail postfix/smtp[18013]: 41C6324F9F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=25, delays=25/0.01/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for 127.0.0.1 loops back to myself) Nov 27 23:27:56 mail postfix/bounce[18015]: 41C6324F9F: sender non-delivery notification: B9C0D24FA1 Nov 27 23:27:56 mail postfix/qmgr[17871]: 41C6324F9F: removed If I try a telnet SMTP session that sends mail to the user [email protected] the logs report the mail is delivered but there is evidence of the mail file (which should include the message id) on the file system.

Code: [root@mail ~]# ls -l /home/vmail/crispycode.com/bluethundr/cur/ total 0 This is how I have my virtual domains and users defined in the database: Code: Database changed mysql> select * from domains; +---------------------+ | domain | +---------------------+ | crispycode.com | | mail.crispycode.com | +---------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from users; +--------------------------------+---------------+----------+ | email | password | quota | +--------------------------------+---------------+----------+ | [email protected] | BLAH | 10485760 | | [email protected] | BLAH | 10485760 | +--------------------------------+---------------+----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) And this is the output of postconf -n Code: [root@mail ~]# postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.localdomain, localhost myhostname = mail.crispycode.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.123.1.0/24 myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix 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 $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_create_maildirsize = yes virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-vir So in short what I need to figure out is why mail to [email protected] gets bounced and why mail to [email protected] is received but with no evidence of the message on the file system. Thanks in advance for your help!
its being delivered to [email protected] because you set your myhostname = mail.crispycode.com what did you set your server name up as? if it was server1 try this mydestination = server1.crispycode.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain myhostname = server1.crispycode.com track down you directories my Maildir was in the var/www folder for some reason???????????, i have them both in /home/ now and set as this virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail/ home_mailbox = /home/vmail/Maildir/
