I've setup everything according to the steps in "The perfect..." tutorial. then installed ISPconfig. I've been running one domain with no problem with multiple email users. I then added another domain and added a e-mail user to that domain. However, when i send to this new user the email gets forwarded to the administrator and doesnt arrive in the users mail box. I've searched and checked through forums for days and haven't been able to find the solution. Here is my main.cf file: Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default # is /etc/mailname. #myorigin = /etc/mailname #smtp_host_lookup = native,dns smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h # TLS parameters smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key smtpd_use_tls=yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client. myhostname=sourceline.co.za mydomain=mail.sourceline.co.za alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin=/etc/mailname mydestination=/etc/postfix/local-host-names relay_domains=/etc/postfix/local-host-names virtual_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination and here are the log entries when trying to send to the newly created email ccount on the different domain: Code: Mar 8 05:03:32 sourceline postfix/smtpd[9787]: connect from dsl-241-45-200.telkomadsl.co.za[41.241.45.200] Mar 8 05:03:34 sourceline postfix/smtpd[9787]: 812B7C06F7: client=dsl-241-45-200.telkomadsl.co.za[41.241.45.200], sasl_method=LOGIN, sasl_username=web2_vertex Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/cleanup[9788]: 812B7C06F7: message-id=<[email protected]> Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 812B7C06F7: from=<[email protected]>, size=2676, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/cleanup[9788]: 7522CC07DD: message-id=<[email protected]> Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 7522CC07DD: from=<[email protected]>, size=2815, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/local[9789]: 812B7C06F7: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=2, status=sent (forwarded as 7522CC07DD) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 812B7C06F7: removed Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/pickup[9443]: 86898C0881: uid=10023 from=<web2_vertex> Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/cleanup[9788]: 86898C0881: message-id=<[email protected]> Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/local[9790]: 7522CC07DD: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 7522CC07DD: removed Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 86898C0881: from=<[email protected]>, size=385, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/local[9789]: 86898C0881: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Mar 8 05:03:36 sourceline postfix/qmgr[9444]: 86898C0881: removed any help would be much appreciated, totally stumped.
Thanks for the response till. I've changed my main.cf file to the following: Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

The email is being sent to [email protected] which is username: web9_info (the intended user). It doesnt go into the web9_info account but is instead forwarded to web2_admin (then to web2_vertex due to me having a forward on all admin emails to me)
If you added a forward, the behaviour of your system is correct. Whats the problem then? 1) You added a forward. 2) This forward is working properly as the mail is forwarded from account 1 to account 2. By the way, you changed myhostname and mydomain in main.cf to localhost, thats a really bad idea as all external mailservers will deny your mail. What you need is a technical domain as described in the FAQ I posted above.
I think you may be misunderstanding me, here is what is happening: 1. mail is being sent to [email protected] which is user web9_info 2. the mail doesnt go into the web9_info mailbox and there is no forward defined for this email user 3. the mail is being forwarded to [email protected] for no apparent reason (this is the admin user on the system i.e admin box checked). 4. I have a forward on the admin user that forwards all mail to my account therefore at this point it is behaving correctly but admin should have never gotten the email to begin with I realise the mydomain myhostname config is badd currently but until i get this going i'm not too worried.
Has web9_admin catchall enabled? If yes, the reason for this behavour is fixed by following the advice in the FAQ.
I'm not sure i understand, web9_admin does have catchall enabled but never sees the email. I've followed the advice in the faq as per my post above. Still the same thing happens. Are you refering to another faq?
Is sourceline.co.za the hostname of the server, and do you have a web site with that name? Does this admin user have a catchAll account? What's the output of Code: telnet localhost 25 ?
sourceline.co.za is the hostname of the server. There is a website with that name on the server too and the admin user does have a catchall. Here is the output of telnet localhost 25 Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 sourceline.co.za ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
Ok, i've made a few changes but still get the same problem. telnet localhost 25 Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 main.sourceline.co.za ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) /etc/postfix/main.conf FQDN = main.sourceline.co.za myhostname = main.sourceline.co.za mydomain = main.sourceline.co.za main.sourceline.co.za is not a virtual domain or used for anything else.
