Good day people, I apologize in advance for duplicate posting if this has been discussed before. The other suggestions failed to get me a remedy. I'm having trouble integrating postfix with mailman once again. 2 issues: 1. When I try to create a new mailing list via web I get the error - unknown virtual host: domain.tld 2. Creating a mailing list via cli (/var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist) works but I cannot send mail to that mailing list. I get loops in the logs before it eventually gets rejected and bounces back with: Code: This is the Email Security Gateway at host hostname.tld I'm sorry to inform you that message below could not be delivered. When delivery was attempted, the following error was returned. <[email protected]>: host x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x] said 550: 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table (in reply to RCPT TO command) (sample log); Code: Jul 31 13:24:59 hostname postfix/smtp[31540]: B8738D800BD: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x]:25, delay=0.17, delays=0.01/0.01/0.05/0.11, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 9F5C813C006F) Jul 31 13:25:00 hostname postfix/smtp[31369]: 1FD1BD800C5: to=<[email protected]>>, relay=x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x]:25, delay=0.17, delays=0.01/0/0.05/0.11, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 06FE813C006F) Jul 31 13:25:04 hostname postfix/smtp[31610]: B1B8DD80090: to=<[email protected]>, relay=x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x]:25, delay=0.27, delays=0.01/0.01/0.06/0.19, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 9D14E13C0052) Here's postconf -n just in case Code: mail:~$ postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mailbox_size_limit = 0 maildrop_destination_concurrency_limit = 1 maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1 mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 message_size_limit = 0 mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain myhostname = hostname.tld mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 x.x.x.x/32 x.x.x.x/32 x.x.x.x/32 [::1]/128 myorigin = /etc/mailname nested_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/nested_header_checks owner_request_special = no proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_maps readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = lists.domain.tld relay_recipient_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relayrecipientmaps.cf relayhost = x.x.x.x smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3 smtp_tls_security_level = may smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 100 smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, check_recipient_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_recipient.cf smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_sender.cf smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3 smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3 smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/transport-mailman, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 I am using ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p9 on Ubuntu 14.04 Mailman 2.1.16 multiserver set up. I would really appreciate your help.
The hostname of a server must be a subdomain like server1.example.com or mail.example.com, it may not be example.com without subdomain part, see ISPConfig installation instructions. The same applies for the myhostname setting in postfix main.cf. If you would use example.com there, then you can not receive emails for this domain anymore. Fix the hostname and main.cf and restart the server.
Thank you, Till. I made a mistake with my code when i submitted. My hostname is actually server1.example.com and so is the entry in postfix for myhostname. I entered cleartext password in my /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf file so mail is no longer looping. I'm not sure that was the right move. My current error in the logs is as below; Code: Aug 5 09:27:15 mail-20 postfix/trivial-rewrite[14195]: warning: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf lookup error for "[email protected]" Aug 5 09:27:15 mail-20 postfix/smtpd[14181]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mailscan.example.com [x.x.x.x]: 451 4.3.0 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<server1> Aug 5 09:27:15 mail-20 postfix/smtpd[14181]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mailscan-example.com[x.x.x.x]: 451 4.3.0 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mailscan-example.com> Aug 5 09:27:15 mail-20 postfix/trivial-rewrite[14195]: warning: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf lookup error for "[email protected]" Aug 5 09:27:15 mail-20 postfix/smtpd[14198]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mailscan-example.com[x.x.x.x]: 451 4.3.0 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mailscan-example.com>
The password is always cleartext in that file, its a long string consisting of chars and numbers, so it might look like being encrypted. If that password was wrong, then you must have altered the password of the user ispconfig manually in mysql before as the sane password is set during installation of ispconfig by the ispconfig installer in many config files.
Okay because I found this 04accfbb35597fa681f417f99c6c95bc under password so i replaced it with the password for that database. I apologise as I am troubleshooting what someone else set up without having to rebuild the entire multiserver setup as this would disrupt services. How can I go about resolving this lookup error?

This is the cleartext password of the ispconfig mysql user which grants access to the dbispconfig database. As mentioned above, if you manually changed the password if the ispconfig user in mysql, then you have broken all connected services like the mail system, pure-ftpd and others. To fix it change the password of the ispconfig user back to its original value or search all files in /etc/ and /usr/local/ispconfig for occurrences of the old üpassword and replace it with the new one. It is used in quite a few places.
I did not say that you should revert this file to its previous setting. I explained that you have to change many files when you have altered the password of the ispconfig mysql user, which you apparently did as the original password is not the right one anymore.
Understood although I do not believe I was supposed to edit that bit of the file to begin with as i was gambling with fixing the error in the logs. I did edit all the .cf files and commented out the original password so all I had to do was delete my entry and uncomment the password I found.
