Hi, I am having a problem adding new users in a debian system running Postfix 2.1.5 and Courier-imap. I use adduser to add new users to the system. Email for the new users works fine locally. I connect succesfully to the server for the new accounts using thunderbird/IMAP. The problem is that the new accounts cannot receive external mail. When i send a message to these accounts, i get: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[email protected]> (reason: 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mx1.balanced.spunky.mail.dreamhost.com.: >>> DATA <<< 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>...

Hi Falko, Thanks for your response. I did not use any guide. The system is already installed and i must support it from now on. The content of /ect/postfix is: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-04-23 10:06 . drwxr-xr-x 84 root root 4096 2008-04-23 15:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 385 2006-08-01 12:01 dynamicmaps.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1421 2006-12-12 13:37 main.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7125 2006-08-09 12:19 master.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16114 2005-03-01 03:05 postfix-files -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5800 2005-03-01 03:05 postfix-script -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21207 2005-03-01 03:05 post-install drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-04-22 12:00 sasl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1663 2006-08-01 12:05 smtpd.cert -rw-r----- 1 root postfix 1679 2006-08-01 12:05 smtpd.key Any ideas?
So I guess you haven't set up any email accounts yet? Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2
