Hello folks, I'm setting up a new CentOS 64-bit machine and have nearly got mail working, except I can't send mail to myself from outside the LAN it's on. When I try I get this error message:
"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table. Please check the message recipient [email protected] and try again." I can send mail from that address, no problem. I'm using the latest Dovecot and Postfix. I've tried setting an alias in etc/aliases like so: bthoen: [email protected] and pointing local_recipient_maps in main.cf at it. I also tried leaving that empty. Also did 'service postfix restart' and 'service dovecot restart' whenever I disturbed their config files. The log says that dovecot connects and disconnects OK, but I'm so new to this end of the business that I probably don't see half of what I should notice. Here's the last few log entries as I tried to login via Thunderbird: Dec 1 10:16:02 oneimage dovecot: IMAP(bthoen): Disconnected: Logged out Dec 1 10:51:48 oneimage dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<bthoen>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:72.251.11.78, lip=::ffff:192.231.196.244, TLS Dec 1 10:51:48 oneimage dovecot: IMAP(bthoen): Effective uid=500, gid=500, home=/home/bthoen Dec 1 10:51:48 oneimage dovecot: IMAP(bthoen): maildir: data=/home/bthoen/Maildir Dec 1 10:51:48 oneimage dovecot: IMAP(bthoen): maildir: root=/home/bthoen/Maildir, index=/home/bthoen/Maildir, control=, inbox= I've read lots of article on Dovecot, Postfix and related from Googlets -- not understanding a lot of it. And I don't know what would be relevant to display here for help. This is probably dead simple to an experienced sysadmin, but my experienced SA got a real job in another state and is no longer as free to freelance as before. So I have to learn enough to make this work in the short term, and hopefully more will sink in in the long run. Any help, references to articles, or requests for some information to diagnose what's wrong would be much appreciated.
