Hello,

then his email is rejected as "unknown user". I can see from my logs
below that the using "postfix/smtp" gets forwarded and the other one
using "postfix/local" gets rejected.
Could someone tell me why it's doing that and what I can do to fix
that? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the list!
Unfortunately, you seem to have missed the important welcome message:
"TO REPORT A PROBLEM, PLEASE SEE
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail";
Sorry, I missed that.
Does the *nix account "student1" exist?
No, it doesn't exist.
Since "mydomain.com" is listed in mydestination and the user does
not exist, we see the expected behavior.
You are using virtual_alias_maps which does allows you to send to
your "aliastest" user since it exists as the key.
Brian, thanks for helping me out but "aliastest" in not in my
virtual_alias_maps "student1" is. "student1" is in the "aliastest"
list among other users. What I don't understand is why Postfix see
"student1" as unknown user when using "aliastest" even though it's
working when sending directly to [email protected]?
My comments came from your logs: " to=<[email protected]>,
orig_to=<aliast...@mydomain>"
This mail was sent to "aliast...@mydomain" and was rewritten to
"[email protected]".
Maybe you should explain where messages are being stored since you
said that "student1" doesn't exist and all messages are being sent to
the local(8) delivery agent. local(8) is responsible to deliver to
*nix users.
Sorry for the confusion... "student1" is not a local unix user so I
have in my virtual file an entry that redirects emails sent to
"[email protected]" to "[email protected]". (this works).
I have "[email protected]" in an "aliastest" list (NIS aliases) and
when an email is sent to "[email protected]" that gets the error
returned as unknown user: "stundent1".
After the message is received, virtual_alias_maps are used for rewriting
messages to it's destination by the cleanup(8) daemon.

If you don't want bounces sent, then don't have bad addresses
returned from virtual_alias_maps.
