Generally these howtos are for database-managed virtual mailbox setups. And I would strongly caution you against overreliance on a howto. I looked at the first page of yours, and it begins by telling you how to install the OS! Personally, I would not consider that a good howto. > This has been caused by postfix only listening to localhost and > was solved by adding the correct ethernet interface to > /etc/postfix/main.cf (inet_interfaces).

To get the default behavior and bind all interfaces, simply remove any (and all) inet_interfaces line[s] from main.cf. > ##<[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14).[/QUOTE] > > So I added the domain einmalistkeinmal.de to mydestination in main.cf. My guess would be that you diverged from the howto at some point, or possibly, that the howto itself is wrong. You do not use mydestination for virtual mailbox domains. > Now, the following error appears: > ## Dec 11 09:31:45 server postfix/smtpd[18485]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT > from mail-bw0-f220.google.com[209.85.218.220]: 550 5.1.1 > <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown > in local recipient table; Here, your Postfix is looking for a Unix alias or user, "denise", and has not found it. > Here is my main.cf from postfix: Pretty basic, looks like the CentOS package. There are no virtual_mailbox_* settings to be seen. I am going to suggest that you go to a forum for your chosen package (ISPconfig) if you know that's what you want to use. I have not been impressed with the ones I have seen. Howtos can be useful to give you the overview of the many disparate parts that make up a mail server, especially if it was written by an author with a good understanding of the subject. Furthermore I think a good howto would specialize. "I'm going to tell you how to set up packages X, Y and Z on $operating_system, to give you a mail server with $feature_list. If you need help setting up $operating_system, see http://$operating_system_documentation_URL ." (You really should have a solid understanding of your OS before you dive into email server management.) All that said, and this being the Postfix mailing list, I will point you to Postfix documentation which might be of interest. I know it sounds cool to have virtual mailboxes, but is that really what you need? You are not going to start out today and be the next Gmail tomorrow. You can get a simple, functional mail server by adding system users to your OS. The way yours is already set up should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to review this: http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html It is easy to mix and match address classes on a working Postfix system. If you start out with the basic local(8) delivery, different domains can later be added for virtual(8) delivery. Also, you might want to stick with local, but have namespace separation for other domains, using virtual ALIAS domains/maps. Both features, virtual(8) mailboxes and virtual(5) aliases, are documented here: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html If problems arise, find the list's expectation for posting here: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail The rest of that document is worth a look too, as it might point you in the right direction to find your own solution. Note, all of these documents, specific to your [older] version of Postfix, can be had in your own "/usr/sbin/postconf html_directory". You should refer to the local copies to avoid confusion with the many new features that have been added in Postfix 2.4 through 2.6, and are being developed now for Postfix 2.7. -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
