After installing my perfect suse 10.2 server and electing to use roundcube mail. I proceeded to make two websites. www.domain.com & www.domain.net net was for testing purposes before applied it to com. i didnt like the idea of have a web# prefix so i elected to have one account for any domain name. Unfortunately the webmaster email was created at first from the .net site and then switch to the .com site. Deleted webmaster .net, added webmaster .com account. I got the error that the name still existed when trying to enter on .com. I look up solutions and found that the entry could be deleted from the mysql database. was able to create account but it would not receive email. afterward found out that all i need to do after deleting acount was to use the recyle bin on ispconfig to allow new set up on .com site. Thinking that this might be the problem i deleted webmaster .com, recycle and added the account again. No change. I notice the /etc/aliases had webmaster to be redirected to root, so commented it out. no change. I am relatively new to linux configurations and am at a loss as where to look to either track where the email is going. (email does not return back to sender) or how to source the problems. Now open to any help or suggestions. btw all other email accounts are working. possible source to review postfix main.cf Code: # environments on different UNIX systems. # queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix mail_owner = postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix mail_owner = postfix unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq setgid_group = maildrop html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES inet_protocols = all biff = no mail_spool_directory = /var/mail canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical #virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient myhostname = server1.$mydomain program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix inet_interfaces = all masquerade_domains = #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain defer_transports = mynetworks_style = subnet disable_dns_lookups = no relayhost = mailbox_command = 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_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_use_tls = yes alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 10240000 mydomain = mydomain.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_tls_auth_only = no 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 virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
You should never delkete a record from the mysql database manually as this messes up the database structure if you do not delete all depending records too! Empty the recycle bin instead. If you edit /etc/aliases, you will have to run the "newaliases" command afterwards.
that work! well, like I had said, i am new to linux configuration. After doing all the work, just did not know that newaliases would need to be type in for the changes to take place. As for the database manipulation. It pains me to have to go into the database itself for the exact reason noted by till but unfortunately that was the response I got when i first started looking into the internet to fix the problem. At any rate thanks for the help!
