I am having a problem with Postfix on a Debian Squeeze 6.0.2 box. I think the issue has come since i did an apt-get update & upgrade recently. Anyway, the issue is that whenever i try to send email to a domain which is not listed in the $mydestinations= /etc/postfix/local_host_names directive it just gives a message bounce / bounced error and that it cannot find the recipient in the recipient list. hereunder is my recently adjusted main.cf file ( i had problems with SASLauthd and stuff due to the package upgrades but those are fixed ) : Code: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases #mydestination = Aphrodite-Artemis, localhost.localdomain, localhost recipient_delimiter = + default_transport = error relay_transport = error sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient myhostname = mail.evil-hannie.eu program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix mydomain = evil-hannie.eu inet_interfaces = 188.40.33.123 localhost masquerade_domains = #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names defer_transports = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mynetworks_style = subnet #mailbox_command = disable_dns_lookups = no relayhost = relay_domains = $mydestination mailbox_transport = strict_8bitmime = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no smtpd_sender_restrictions = #hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = strict_rfc821_envelopes = no #smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtdp_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient = no smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_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 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 10240000 content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = Content of /etc/postfix/local-host-names is as follows : Code: localhost evil-hannie.eu mail.evil-hannie.eu Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Can you post the error messages from your mail log? Do the external domains resolve to an external server?
The external domains resolve just fine to external existing servers. They also resolve perfectly to MX records and such. Here is the exact error / warning message that is located in my mail log files : Please note that this is an example and counts for all external domains ...

Yes, this problem exists for EVERY external domain which is not listed in that file i mentioned in the first post ...
Which tutorial did you use to set up the system? Do you have valid nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf? Shouldn't you have a virtual_maps line in your main.cf (like virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable for ISPConfig 2)?
yes, in etc are correct working nameservers cuz all my services / dns requests work just fine i dont have a virtual maps line in my main.cf because i do not use ISPConfig ... in all honesty. The tutorial i followed i have no idea about anymore, it has been 2 years ago all i do know is, everything worked fine up till 4 weeks ago
yes, ofcourse here goes : Code: Aphrodite-Artemis:~# ls -la /etc/postfix total 112K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Jun 3 15:57 . drwxr-xr-x 111 root root 12K Oct 6 23:53 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 Oct 11 2009 dynamicmaps.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 Oct 6 22:57 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Oct 6 23:29 main.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.9K Apr 21 2010 master.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19K May 4 21:17 postfix-files -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8.6K May 4 21:17 postfix-script -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24K May 4 21:17 post-install drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 6 20:01 sasl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12K Oct 11 2009 sender_canonical.db drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 11 2009 ssl
Hm, I was expecting some kind of file that contains the mailbox definitions, but that doesn't seem to exist...
