postfix and DNs server
Hi all I am using postfix 2.8.4 on centos 5.8 and recently I installed bind9 on the same server to have my own DNS server. I didn't change MX record of mail server as I am still testing configuration and newbie but I noticed that outgoing mails stopped being delivered and I don't know why as I don't change anything in postfix or MX records what may cause that? Regards

I need to prevent all notification messages of a domain from being sent to outside users that sends mail through postfix. Because the application that push mails already handles bounces so no need of notification to be sent again to the actual sender What you describe handles only mail delivery errors during the initial application-to-Postfix SMTP transaction.

RE: null sender rewrite
Hi all I am working on a project that sends mail through postfix, the user that will be sending mail shouldn't receive notification mail for every bounce or problem happen while sending mail, it's because I have user1@mydomain (postfix user) and user2@whatever(user not on my mail server) the latter user is original sender that always receive notification which I don't want to . I searched about disabling notification mails but I found that it's not a good solution so I am thinking of redirect notification message to account I have not to the user but I can't do that because the sender of notification is null so I need it to be user@domain and then redirect this to another account as I need.

in master.cf
autoreply unix- n n - - pipe
flags= user=vmail argv=/etc/postfix/scripts/autoreply ${sender} ${mailbox}
it's working fine with one account but when using two account postfix keeps
calling script even if I just send one mail to the auto respond mail . I
checked the script and no loop would cause this behavior .
Any one has suggestion for this issue
Regards
automatic message
Hi all, I want to configure postfix to reply automatically for specific e-mail address. I googled that but I found that I must have another software (vacation) that handles this issue. I am using postfix-2.3.3-2.3.el5_6 and using virtual domains. I am not using MySQL I use regular files for dovecot authentication. Any suggestions about configuring automatic message using postfix. Regards
