hi i am new to postfix and i trying to learn it ... and i new to postfix mailing list , so sorry if doing something wrong
QUESTION IS : i read these document's : http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html ( local_recipient_maps section ) i trying figure out how local_recipient_maps work ... so i change it to : local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/userlist and postmap hash:/etc/postfix/userlist service postfix restart /etc/postfix/userlist : alex exists amin exists i expect that mail for alex@localhost. and amin@localhost. delivered to /var/spool/mail and mail's to other user's of my system (like root or test) bounced (or rejected) but when send mail to alex (there is no alex user in my system ) it bounced with (unknown user: "alex") , and when i send mail to test user it delivered ... (echo test | mail -s test alex@localhsot. ) i ask a guy in irc and he told me that postfix/local need uid and gid to deliver local mail , that is reasonable but why it still deliver mail for root or test ?? can any body explain that ? or suggest me document that show how local_recipient_maps work ? thank you guys :) here is my config in main.cf : mydomain = home myhostname = laptop myorigin = $myhostname relay_domains = $mydestination mydestination = localhost $myhostname laptop mynetworks = 127.0.0.1 alias_maps = alias_database = local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/userlist and this is my log : Sep 2 14:03:13 laptop postfix/master[31659]: terminating on signal 15 Sep 2 14:03:14 laptop postfix/master[7899]: daemon started -- version 2.11.0, configuration /etc/postfix Sep 2 14:03:19 laptop postfix/pickup[7902]: 10F681658E3: uid=0 from=<r...@laptop.home> Sep 2 14:03:19 laptop postfix/cleanup[7908]: 10F681658E3: message-id=<20160902093319.10F681658E3@laptop> Sep 2 14:03:19 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: 10F681658E3: from=<r...@laptop.home>, size=322, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 2 14:03:19 laptop postfix/local[7910]: 10F681658E3: to=<test@localhost>, orig_to=<test@localhost.>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.13/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Sep 2 14:03:19 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: 10F681658E3: removed Sep 2 14:03:29 laptop postfix/pickup[7902]: DE7F51658E3: uid=0 from=<r...@laptop.home> Sep 2 14:03:29 laptop postfix/cleanup[7908]: DE7F51658E3: message-id=<20160902093329.DE7F51658E3@laptop> Sep 2 14:03:29 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: DE7F51658E3: from=<r...@laptop.home>, size=322, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/local[7910]: DE7F51658E3: to=<alex@localhost>, orig_to=<alex@localhost.>, relay=local, delay=0.14, delays=0.08/0/0/0.06, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "alex") Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/cleanup[7908]: 00642165924: message-id=<20160902093330.00642165924@laptop> Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/bounce[7915]: DE7F51658E3: sender non-delivery notification: 00642165924 Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: 00642165924: from=<>, size=2018, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: DE7F51658E3: removed Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/smtp[7916]: 00642165924: to=<r...@laptop.home>, relay=none, delay=0.11, delays=0.03/0.07/0.01/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for laptop.Home loops back to myself) Sep 2 14:03:30 laptop postfix/qmgr[7903]: 00642165924: removed
