What is your "/etc/postfix/virtual" file? If (as I suspect) it's your virtual_alias_maps lookup, simply DO NOT list nonexistent users in your virtual_alias_domains. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html#virtual_alias_class http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_alias http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_domains "Those who use Google before reading the Postfix documentation, if fortunate, end up at http://www.postfix.org/ . If not, they end up in a jumble of bad questions, misleading or wrong answers, and outdated information." -- from http://workaround.org/f=postfix , the "google" factoid[1] > postmas...@domain.org error:nouser 550 No such user here This can be done as a check_recipient_access lookup, in cases where there's a valid user which should be rejected for some reason. See: http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#check_recipient_access Actually, in general you should consult your own local copy of the Postfix documentation before www.postfix.org., because in many cases it's possible that new features have been added, and you might find version-specific references confusing, or even overlook them entirely. [1] In fact I wrote that factoid. -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
