I'll use Mariadb to store alias_map, uid/gid.etc
The previous is just a quick test.
Thanks.

It sounds like all your users are stored in dovecot and not unix 
system users.  Postfix calls this a virtual mailbox domain.  Some 
docs for that can be found here:

You'll probably want something like:

virtual_mailbox_maps = {dovecot user database here}
virtual_transport = {dovecot delivery agent here}

Remove the recipient domain from "mydestination" and add it

Hi,

is zimbra running on the same machine? Then you should read zimbra doc,
how to integrate with postfix.

If zimbra is running on another machine, you should read postfix doc on
relaying (http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html)

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

[9acca9]

Hello everyone.
I have configured a zimbra and a postfix different pc. (zimbra is on my
local network, and postfix on an external network).

the only thing I want is for postfix to send the mails from my domain to any
side, and that the ones of any side send them to zimbra.

The sending of mails was correct but if from my google mail account I want
to answer, I find this error in the log:

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

of course the "user" is not know by postfix or that server, I want postfix
to deliver this mail to zimbra, who knows them.

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

append_dot_mydomain = no

readme_directory = no

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated
defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = postfix.mydomain.es
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = $myhostname, mydomain.es, localhost.mydomain.es, localhost,
relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [:::127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 172.16.5.5/32

Thanks to all.

I eventually want to change the default `+' to `-'. But I will need to find
out if there is any dependency
on postfix side that might break? I am using mailman which has `-' in the
list name.

In the meantime, If I understand you correctly, just use an alias entry
like below as a quick workaround?

 iqbala-sysadmin: iqbala

I do not have too many of those, so that would work now without breaking
anything.

This looks like email to the user "iqbala" with an extension of
"sysadmin" using qmail's "-" as a delimiter.

If you've migrated from qmail, you should probably keep "-" as your
recipient delimiter to maintain as much backwards-compatible behaviour
as possible.

Otherwise you'll need an explicit alias for each actively used "-"
address extension.

Still wading through the doco. From what I can determine /etc/postfix/canonical 
is used to rewrite
the envelope and headers. From the doco 
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html:

---8<---
Canonical address mapping

The cleanup(8) daemon uses the canonical(5) tables to rewrite addresses in 
message envelopes and in
message headers. By default all header and envelope addresses are rewritten; 
this is controlled with
the canonical_classes configuration parameter.

---8<---
Local alias database

When mail is to be delivered locally, the local(8) delivery agent runs each 
local recipient name
through the aliases(5) database. The mapping does not affect addresses in 
message headers. Local
aliases are typically used to implement distribution lists, or to direct mail 
for standard aliases
such as postmaster to real people. The table can also be used to map 
"Firstname.Lastname" addresses
to login names.
---8<---

My apologies that I didn't read _all_ the doco before attempting the mapping. 
So my understanding is
now that the /etc/postfix/canonical file allows envelope and header rewrites to 
the final delivered
email but /etc/aliases is used to create the actual mapping for 
firsname.lastname to a local user
and that is necessary for successful delivery of email.

So, if out of two users, shaun and tom and I have only canonicalised tom as 
follows:
/etc/aliases:
shaun.fielder: shaun
tom.robinson: tom

/etc/postfix/canonical:
tom tom.robinson

Using sendmail to generate a report helps explain what happens:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bv tom

in the report I can see the mail is deliverable to the local user 
(t...@motec.com.au) but the To: is

Correct is probably the wrong word.

If you need mailadresses, that aren't the same as loginnames or
mailboxnames, you have to define aliases. For me, using aliases, instead
of internal usernames, is the usual way. But, usually, i don't use
canonical for that. Maybe it makes sense, when changing from mailaddress
scheme "firstname" to, e.g.,  "first.lastname".

You can define aliases also in virtual table.

I have since made this entry in /etc/aliases:

tom.robinson:   tom

and rebuilt with postalias.

If that's the only change and the correct way to set this up, I think it's 
fixed. Is that the
correct way to set it up?

When I send a test email:

I was guessing that this would have to be aliased but didn't see it in the 
documentation for
canonical. Is it the correct way to set up full.name mapping to local users? 
Also I'm more used to
sendmail and qmail. This is my first time configuring postfix.

Kind regards,
Tom

OK. I think you'll need entries like

tom.robinson:   tom

in your /etc/aliases. (Don't forget newaliases)

Hi,

can you show the according entries from /etc/aliases and
/etc/postfix/canonical?

What name has the target mailbox for tom.robin...@motec.com.au?

Forward emails recieveing error: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

[Jonathan Bees]

Hi,

I have one domain - example.com. And I'd like to have user mailboxes on two
separate machines (policy differences), but ran into a problem with sending
emails from a user on one machine to users on the other machine.
The error message : 550 5.1.1 remoteu...@example.com: Recipient address

Hoping someone knows a good way to send all unknown recepient in local

would decide whether to forward this to the remote server or answer with a
bounce message.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

This is a broken design.  The edge gateway MX must know all valid
recipients, even for internal systems.  Unknown recipients must be
rejected during the initial SMTP, and not bounced later.

Either transfer the valid recipient list from the smarthost, or you
might be able to use reject_unverified_recipient to let postfix
decide for itself.

Sending bounces for unknown users will clog your queue with
undeliverable mail, and will get your server blacklisted as a
backscatter source.

Both machines must accept all users in the domain.

 mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf

Looks like the split domain is local.  If such a domain is local
to multiple hosts, you need to use an aliases table that lists all the
users:

aliases:
user1:  us...@host1.example.com
user2:  us...@host2.example.com
...

where host1 is listed in mydestination on host1, but not on host2,
and conversely host2 is in mydestination on host2, but on host1.

mydestination =
$myhostname,
example.com,
localhost.example.com,
localhost,
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf

Alternatively, (and I what I actually recommend) you can make the
example.com domain be a virtual alias domain, and use virtual alias
maps to rewrite recipient addresses:

virtual:
us...@example.com   us...@host1.example.com
us...@example.com   us...@host2.example.com

Then on each host:

mydestination =
$myhostname,
localhost.example.com,
localhost,
# possibly instead the mysql domains become virtual
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf

virtual_alias_domains =
example.com
# possibly the mysql domains become virtual
# mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-domains.cf

 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings

Not generally a good idea as a global setting.  What are you doing with that?

 transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
 virtual_alias_maps =
   mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf,
   mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-example.cf,
   hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Generally, list the indexed first, those queries are faster.

 Hoping someone knows a good way to send all unknown recepients in local
 tables (referred by mysql-virtual.cf) to a smarthost (192.168.1.1), which
 would decide whether to forward this to the remote server or answer with a
 bounce message.

No need to route through the smarthost if this is an MTA hosting mailboxes.
Only punt to the smarthost from null-client machines that punt everything.

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

[clem free]

Hi,

I installed a postfix relay between a local SMTP server and another relay.

I have the error when email are sent from external (i.e: gmail) to my

Here is my main.cf:

Mynetworks:

Any idea ?

Your domain should be configured as a relay_domain and not 
listed in mydestination.


Valid users should be listed in relay_recipient_maps.
