As documented in http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#local_recipient_maps If this parameter is non-empty (the default), then the Postfix SMTP server will reject mail for unknown local users. You set this parameter to an empty value (which is a bad idea) and therefore the Postfix SMTP will not reject mail for unknown local users. This is a bad idea because Postfix will try to deliver mail for a non-existent address and then discover that this is not possible. > What i don't understand is that adress "[email protected]" works but > adress "[email protected]" sent me back an "unknown > user" error. And why does this result surprise you? What would YOU expect Postfix to do when it delivers mail to a non-existent address? Wietse
