This is the log of the error Code: Nov 8 16:33:51 skyglow postfix/smtpd[6503]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Nov 8 16:33:51 skyglow postfix/smtpd[6503]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.mailserver.org> Nov 8 16:33:51 skyglow postfix/smtpd[6503]: lost connection after RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1] i followed falko's great howto. My system works slightly differernt because of my needs. Postfix uses mysql to read recipient table, tls is enabled on postfix. Usual receiving mail works perfectly. I can send mail from outside to this box, and i can send from localhost to localhost. How you can read from the log i'm sending a mail from localhost to a foreign host and it fails. this are possible interesting variable in my main.cf Code: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mydestination = localhost virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_domains.cf virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_alias.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_mailbox.cf virtual_transport = virtual mydomain = mailserver.org myhostname = mail.mailserver.org virtual_minimum_uid = 150 virtual_uid_maps = static:150 virtual_gid_maps = static:150 virtual_mailbox_limit = 100000000 virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_quota.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_inbox = no virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_maildir_extended = yes virtual_overquota_bounce = no virtual_maildir_limit_message = "User's quota reached!" #virtual_maildir_limit_message_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmsg virtual_trash_count = yes #virtual_trash_name = ".Trash" virtual_maildir_filter = no #virtual_maildir_filter_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vfilter Software versions are: postfix 2.4.6 (patched with vda) mysql 5.0.1 P.S. of course domains and other are not real
What tutorial exactly (URL)? Did you create an email account for [email protected]? Is mail.mailserver.org that server or another system?
[email protected] is on another provider. mhm alot i'd say^^ your one too. because i needed to integrate postfix mysql(for virtual mailboxes) dovecot, and all pkgs including ssl. it's all working except the sending to other provider, even if the sender is localhost. i didn't follow completely your tutorial because i wanted to recompile the whole system. Postfix patched before make and then: make makefiles CCARGS="-DHAS_MYSQL -DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -I/usr/local/ssl/include" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto" List of tutorials http://yocum.org/faqs/postfix-tls-sasl.html http://genova.isf-italia.org/linux-e-isf/postfix-dovecot-mysql http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html http://www.nomoa.com/bsd/postfixadmin.htm http://www.phparchitecture.com/howto_show.php?id=2 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Email_Virtual_Server_Maildrop_and_Spam_Assasin http://sylvestre.ledru.info/howto/howto_qmail_vpopmail.php
Then this means that this email account doesn't exist on the remote server. That's not a problem of your configuration.
is there a way to let postfix deliver mail to other providers. without them beeing in a list, and only from localhost? i just wanna postfix sends mail if webmail asks it^^ mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 shouldn't do it? or since it's virtual delivering enabled it doesn't work?
If you want to connect to Postfix only from localhost, use Code: inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 in /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart Postfix.
briefly.. what i wanna is^^ accept every mail that has to be delivered to my pc. accept mail from localhost to everything else. deny all other (relay and so..) how it's the configuration atm doesn't work oO it always did with mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 i think maybe i made somewhere else a mistake
i opened the topic because i already seted various things like taht in mynetwork. i still get this as error 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table can it be that because i patched postfix with vda i get this "error"?
if for remote = destmail.inc and for local = 127.0.0.1 it exists because it's my address i registered on this forum. i tryed to send mail by telnet and i get the same error message in the console. postfix just don't allow me to send mail from 127.0.0.1 to other server if it's not in the virtual address table. i don't understand why mynetworks option should work to fix this but doesn't. should this be a bug?
thanks for all you answers. i got a mail after subscribing to vda newsletter saying that there were 2 bugs in their release. so i solved my problem
Hello. I have this same problem (I changed domain names): Code: Aug 14 07:13:30 s1 postfix/smtpd[8804]: NOQUEUE: filter: RCPT from ip6-localhost[127.0.0.1]: <[email protected]>: Sender address triggers FILTER amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<s1.example.net> Aug 14 07:13:30 s1 postfix/smtpd[8804]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from ip6-localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<s1.example.net> but slightly different case with remote email address. Remote address [email protected] is enabled and work (this domain is bought on google.com). I can send emails from [email protected] which is configured on my server to whatever domain (hosted on gmail and on another vps and domains from my server etc) but when I try send to [email protected] I have above error in logs. I attach screens from roundcube and thunderbird (this same error which is in logs). PS I have read that this problem can be when domain is on another server that mx for it. In my case is exactly like this. Domain colo.com.pl is hosted on my server but MX for this domain is served by google MX.
