OK complete newbie to linux. I have setup postfix and dovecot on centos. everything works... but my email addresses are [email protected] instead of [email protected]. I have searched high and low for my screwup. Any ideas? Thanks, Taylor
if you really own @domain.com then you should check if you have that domain added to the mydestination config setting line in your main.cf .. It should look something like: Code: mydestination = domain.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost if you post your main.cf i can have a look at it.
more info OK below you will find my main.cf file. Also server is a remote running Centos 5.4 64bit. Postfix/dovecot with Roundcube for webmail. I know the main.cf is wrong, i can send a test email but when trying to reply to the test email it gets returned. Makes me wonder if it's Dovecot after typing that. Oh i followed The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.2 install instructions for Postfix and Dovecot. #soft_bounce = no queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix #default_privs = nobody #myhostname = server.southernarmor.com #myhostname = virtual.domain.tld #mydomain = southernarmor.com # [email protected]st. #myorigin = $myhostname #myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all #inet_interfaces = $myhostname #inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost inet_interfaces = all #proxy_interfaces = #proxy_interfaces = 1.2.3.4 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, # mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain # TRUST AND RELAY CONTROL #mynetworks_style = class #mynetworks_style = subnet #mynetworks_style = host #mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/24 #mynetworks = $config_directory/mynetworks #mynetworks = hash:/etc/postfix/network_table #relay_domains = $mydestination #relayhost = $mydomain #relayhost = [gateway.my.domain] #relayhost = [mailserver.isp.tld] #relayhost = uucphost #relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress] #in_flow_delay = 1s #alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases #alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases #alias_maps = netinfo:/aliases #alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases #alias_database = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases# #recipient_delimiter = + #home_mailbox = Mailbox #home_mailbox = Maildir/ #mail_spool_directory = /var/mail #mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mai #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" #mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp # mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp #mailbox_transport = cyrus #fallback_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp #fallback_transport = #luser_relay = [email protected] #luser_relay = [email protected] #luser_relay = admin+$local #header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks #fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) #local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 #default_destination_concurrency_limit = 20 debug_peer_level = 2 #debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1 #debug_peer_list = some.domain debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 # debugger_command = # PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin; export PATH; screen # -dmS $process_name gdb $daemon_directory/$process_name # $process_id & sleep 1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom myhostname = server.southernarmor.com home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command =
If you mail from the shell and find that the email is "[email protected]" (instead of [email protected]), then please check your server host name setting. If you mail from the webmail interface (e.g. webmail / roundcube) and find that the email is "[email protected]" (instead of [email protected]), then you have not yet set up your sender email in your webmail.
