Mails sent from webX_ and not received

Hi,

I am having a problem with mail. The emails (from webmail) are sent from webX_account and not the proper alias. So I have an account, say web1_test and [email protected]. I can login to webmail using [email protected], but when I send emails they are send from [email protected].

Also no emails are received. Doesn't matter if I send to [email protected] or [email protected].

Any ideas?

 

Changing the name helped. The error log contains this:

Sep 2 13:01:52 shared1 postfix/postmap[32559]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db: No such file or directory

Apparently it doesn't know where to route the email. Shouldn't this have been configured during ISPConfig install?

 

Right now, the email bounded back, saying "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table", so it's an aliases issue.

 

hmm, this is getting confusing for me, because:

In ISPConfig I have a setting for virtual user file set to /etc/postfix/virtusertable
In main.cf of posfix I have set the same path. In /etc/postfix I have like 3 files like that one virtusertable, then virtusertable.db and then virtusertable.db.db. Does ISPConfig add .db extention?

 

the ispconfig log has these lines (when I was creating a new user)

but just a general question: should postfix have a reference to the .db file? The db files should be binary, right? Right now, I have a .db file containing bin data and without extention containing string data. Where should postfix conf path point?

 

Ehm.. yes and no. ISPConfig calls postmap which creates the .db file.
What is /etc/postfix/virtus$

To be on the safe side I would first delete all virtusertable DB files: rm /etc/postfix/virtusertable.*
Then make sure ISPConfig contains /etc/postfix/virtusertable in Management->Settings->Email.
Then make ISPConfig recreate the config.

 

Ok, but will I be safe if I delete all those files (virtus*)? And then re-save the file in ISPConfig management section? Will it reload postfix and perform all necessary changes, or will it break something?

 

I guess that should work
