Using, Debian 4 and Postfix. I have set up virtual domains which is working nicely, however, I have been receiving spam because people have been sending email to generic names like [email protected] when the email is not set up in the /etc/postfix/virtual/addresses file. because the user reptile exists the mail is sent to this inbox. how do i stop mail going to this inbox and only going to the inbox of the mail specified in the virtual addresses list? I am aware I could obviously change my login to something less generic or send that specific email to a catch account but i'd rather have it rejected.
I'm not sure how I stopped this on my server, but it was something I added to main.cf in /etc/postfix I think it was one of the following lines: Code: unknown_address_reject_code = 554 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 554 unknown_virtual_alias_reject_code = 554 unknown_virtual_mailbox_reject_code = 554 Make sure you restart postfix after adding the lines. Code: /etc/init.d/postfix restart

in the domains file is just a domain name like www.xxxxx.com and in the the addresses file [email protected] reptile [email protected] another_user thats all.
If you want to send emails to [email protected], you should have xxxxx.com in the domains file, not www.xxxxx.com.
i think we are off the point now. The problem is not that the users are not receiving email, the problem is that a user created with the useradd command will receive email when there is no matching domain name if the name before the @ is the same. i.e. i only want users setup in the virtual/addresses file to receive email on those specific addresses. Please refer to the original post for the original question. For reference, I didn't have www. in the domain file, that was a mistake i made when typing it out.
Try adding the following to your main.cf Code: local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps and see if this does the trick. (make sure you restart postfix)
no that didn't work i sent two messages one to [email protected] and one to [email protected] and the [email protected] found its way into my account despite having no mapping for it.
this is how my main.cf looks like (note: I've changed the myhostname = mail.REMOVED.COM) Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no delay_warning_time = 4h myhostname = mail.REMOVED.COM alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = 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 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 local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/restrictions virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names smtpd_helo_required = yes disable_vrfy_command = yes invalid_hostname_reject_code = 554 multi_recipient_bounce_reject_code = 554 non_fqdn_reject_code = 554 relay_domains_reject_code = 554 unknown_address_reject_code = 554 unknown_client_reject_code = 554 unknown_hostname_reject_code = 554 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 554 unknown_relay_recipient_reject_code = 554 unknown_sender_reject_code = 554 unknown_virtual_alias_reject_code = 554 unknown_virtual_mailbox_reject_code = 554 unverified_recipient_reject_code = 554 unverified_sender_reject_code = 554 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client dsn.rfc-ignorant.org, reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org, permit
what do you have in mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names Theres not much difference between mine and yours in main.cf Funnily enough though, if i have that mailbox_command (procmail) my mail does not get delivered. I have to leave it blank.
This is what I have in my local-host-names (again I've changed tje myhostname) Code: localhost host.myhostname.com localhost.myhostname.com localhost.host.myhostname.com all my other domain names
Take a look at the local_recipient_maps and smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameters on http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
