It's generally advisable to include this information in your email - for the sake of the archives, but it removes the external dependency. The level of detail on your linked page is good, excepting the "verbose" logging (generally unwanted except on request). My LDAP and NSS-fu is weak, but I have a couple of ideas. > My Fedora 11 postfix installation won't recognise local recipients.

On Fedora 10, same hardware, > same postfix configuration, I did not have this problem. Did you upgrade the configuration between installations? (I've no idea what the version difference is between F10 and F11, and whether you've copied in the files verbatim). http://www.postfix.org/postfix.1.html > Initially, smptd rejected the mail, then with some help of folk on > #postfix, I added ldap to local_recipient_maps but now the local process > bounces these as "unknown users". > > Any suggestions on: > > a) How I could configure postfix to get around this > > b) Simple tests to establish this as a fedora issue (rule out postfix) "config #1 default local_recipient_maps": LDAP isn't included, so you get "unknown user in local recipient table". "# config #2 modified "local_recipient_maps ="": (I assume you meant double quotes there, ie. empty value By my reading, that disables local recipient verification entirely - http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html Mail is accepted for a local domain, then bounces because delivery fails. "config #3 modified local_recipient_maps modified to use ldap: local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf": I believe that's correct. As it's still bouncing, it sounds like a problem in the "local" agent, which you've provided logging for. I'm personally stuck here, but I expect someone else has seen this problem before. > "The command "getent passwd <user>" returns the expected values for both > users. However > "postmap -q <user> unix:passwd.byname" returns a result only for user pms. This is expected - postmap doesn't exactly emulate how Postfix does the lookups. Specifically, postfix will lookup all the necessary tables, but manually invoking postmap queries only tests exactly what you ask. You should get a result if you run `postmap -q bells ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf`. I expect that you do, given that you're not getting the "unknown user in local recipient table" error. Does removing procmail as the mailbox_command help? Does the "bells" user's mailspool already exist? (for systems with locally-maintained users, it's usually created at useradd time)
