Postfix reject mail

I still don't see

Code:

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

in the output. Please run

Code:

postconf -e 'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable'

and restart Postfix.

 

It wont let me add it

its definatley in main.cf

Code:

[....]
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
relay_domains = $mydestination
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
[....]

I ran the command and added to main.cf

then i ran postconf -n and still wasnt there

The file /etc/postfix/virtusertable does exist and has the permissons 775
The file /etc/postfix/main.cfhas the permissons 775

Any idea why it wont add?

Thanks,
Alex

 

What's the output of

Code:

grep virtual_maps /etc/postfix/main.cf

? Maybe that parameter is in main.cf twice?

 

Nope

Code:

server1:~ # grep virtual_maps /etc/postfix/main.cf
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
server1:~ #

 

Does your Postfix run chrooted? Maybe there's another main.cf, e.g. /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

I found the following main.cf files:

Code:

server1:~ # locate main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf.default
/etc/postfix/main.cf.orig
/etc/postfix/main.cf.SuSEconfig
/var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/postfix/main.cf
/var/www/web1/web/main.cf
server1:~ #

 

And what's in /etc/postfix/master.cf?

 

Heres the contents:

Code:

server1:~ # cat /etc/postfix/master.cf

Relay Access denied problem

Im also experiencing a problem of sending mails to my domain. I have created users on mydomain.com. From anotherdomain.com i cannot send mails to mydomain.com with a relay access denied error. If i configure a mail client(Outlook Express), im able to send mails from mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com but i cannto reply to same.

When i log in to postfix using webmin, i found out that the mails are actually all going to the user root but failing to be delivered to [email protected]

 

Postfix is not running chrooted, so that's not the problem. To be honest, I don't know why postconf doesn't work on your installation...
