I might be extremely dense but what I don't understand now is: The setup works if I am loged in to the system, e.g. by imap through mail2web. Then I can send mail from my server to the world or between mailboxes on the server.
Sending mail to the server from the world outside results in 5.1.1 <xxxx@xxxx>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table. I am also not seeing anything in any log related to this kind of error (or I am simply not looking at the right logs ...) So looking up recipients only work ON the server but not from the outside. (I feel I should know the solution to this but currently ... =( ) /Martin S 2015-06-14 21:37 GMT+02:00 Michael Munger <mich...@highpoweredhelp.com>: > Check the section on the article that deals with the SQL for the virtual > table, ave read the comments at the bottom as well. > > > On June 14, 2015 2:02:02 PM EDT, Martin S <shieldf...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hmm "progress" as now I'm getting >> 5.1.1 ADDRESS: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay >> recipient table" >> Not finding much in log files >> Still on it though. >> >> /Martin S >> >> 2015-06-14 17:44 GMT+02:00 Martin S <shieldf...@gmail.com>: >>> >>> Oh my old configs are very very gone =) As the old system was Centos >>> and the new one Debian they went the way of the Dodo with the complete >>> reinstall ... >>> >>> I'll recheck the section now that I'm home. >>> >>> /Martin S >>> >>> 2015-06-14 15:57 GMT+02:00 Michael Munger <mich...@highpoweredhelp.com>: >>>> >>>> Mar >>>> This is a different error than you were getting before.
