Hello Brian, users, I do not have any hosted domain. I have only one registered domain, example mailhost.mailorg.com. In the same domain, I want to host the mail users such that those users are in mysql table. Such users' mail is available, for example, in /mailhome/vitrual_user/user1 ... /mailhome/virtual_userN Those users do not have the login accounts, but they have mail account. Each virtual user mail address looks like this,
virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com . . . virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com More over the same domain mailhost.mailorg.com also has a set of users who have login accounts. Those users also have mail accounts and their mail address would be login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com . . . login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com By referring the http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox, I read the following NEVER list a virtual MAILBOX domain name as a mydestination domain! NEVER list a virtual MAILBOX domain name as a virtual ALIAS domain! did I miss any thing? regards, Upadhya. -- ----- Original Message ---- From: Brian Evans - Postfix List <grkni...@scent-team.com> To: postfix-users@postfix.org Sent: Tue, December 22, 2009 7:22:23 PM Subject: Re: local_recipient_maps setting is not workling as expected!

The local transport is for *system users* which you are trying to not use by your description.
