Hello all,
I wan to set up an additional domain in postfix, whereby, to the
outside world it is considered a separate and distinct postfix
domain. Internally I have two separate unix accounts set up:
unixmaindomain and unixadditionaldomain. I want that all mail
([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc...) for the
additionaldomain to be delivered to the second unix account to be
downloaded by my IMAP MTU account.
This is what I tried so far:-
1. mydestinations
• All settings for main domain were left unchanged;
• Added "additionaldomain.tld to mydestinations in main.cf;
• Added additionaldomain, comma separated, to RHS of etc/postfix/
aliases: e.g. "admin: maindomain, additionaldomain"
The result
• Continued to be able to send emails addressed from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
• Continued ability to receive mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
• However, could only receive mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (to the correct unix account).
All mail to other destinations (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is
bounced "User unknown in local recipient table".
Is there something additional I am meant to do to achieve what I
want, or is it not possible using mydestinations
2. Virtual alias domains
• All settings for main domain were left unchanged;
• removed all references to additionaldomain from main.cf
• removed all references to additionaldomain from aliases file
• postaliases hash...
• Created virtual_alias_domains file containing:
"additionaldomain.tld 2208081538"
• Postmap hash...
• Created virtual_alias_maps file containing: "additionaldomain.tld
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
... etc
• postmap hash...
• Edited main.cf - added: virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/
virtual_alias_domains
virtual_alias_maps =
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps
• Postfix reload
The result
• Incoming mail rejected for all mapped users of additionaldomain.
The mail failure error was: User unknown in local recipient table
• The logs error read:
Aug 22 22:41:05 rosario postfix/error[28924]: 09B862667D7:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced
(User unknown in virtual alias table)
Aug 22 22:41:05 rosario postfix/local[28926]: warning: database /etc/
aliases.db is older than source file /etc/aliases
Is there something additional I am meant to do to achieve what I
want, or is it not possible using virtual alias domains
3. Virtual Mailbox domains
• was about to try this alternative but decided to stop and ask for
help.
• Please help!
