The specific domain you're sending mail to (one of your own domains
when sending mail from outside, let's call it example.com) is
listed in the Postifx relay_domains configuration parameter:
main.cf:
relay_domains = ..., example.com, ...
However the specific address you're sending mail to (say
cu...@example.com) is not listed in any of the tables
configured via relay_recipient_maps:
main.cf:
indexed = ${default_database_type}:${config_directory}/
relay_recipient_maps = ${indexed}relay-rcpts
relay-rcpts:
m...@example.comRELAY
la...@example.com RELAY
# BUT, no cu...@example.com
So looking up recipients only work ON the server but not from the
outside.
Recipient validation is only applied to domains for which your
server is authoritative (domains for which you accept inbound
mail). Your server can't possibly know all the valid recipient
addresses for other sites' domains (say gmail.com, yahoo.com, ...)
and so delivers mail to these without lookups in relay_recipient_maps.

Re: newbie faq - sorry: recipient lists
Mar This is a different error than you were getting before. YOu were getting user unknown in recipient table before, which meant postfix could not figure out who you wanted to send mail to... or if it was even responsible for that domain / user's mail. Now, you have a problem with are you allowed to send me mail?. My first question is: did you overwrite all the config files you had before and use the ones specifically in the tutorial? I suspect not. This error comes about when the remote side is trying to authenticate with an authentication mechanism that the server side doesn't support. Here's why it works locally: When you send locally, you're sending via 127.0.0.1, which is clearly in your mynetworks (as it would be by default). This means you're doing IP authentication to send mail. Thus, it works as long as you're in your own sandbox. When you attempt to send mail from outside your machines self made sandbox of 127.0.0.1/8, then you are required to authenticate. Otherwise, spammers can use you as a relay. So, thus far, it's working properly. Now, on the remote side, when you try to authenticate, you're trying to use PLAIN (plaintext) ,and the server is rejecting that request. This tells me that your /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf file is incorrect, in valid, non-existent, or (at the very least) not setup the way the http://learnlinuxonline.com/servers/how-setup-linux-mail-server-debian-ubuntu dictates. If you double check that article, under the section How to Configure Saslauthd for our Linux Mail Server, you'll see that the second line of the configuration for the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf line specifies: mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN Since your server is not allowing this, you need to check that out. Re-Read the section: Debugging Loggin Failures. If you are still trying to use your own configs, scrap them. Start with these tested configs, and you can modify it after you get it working. Double check every detail, and if it still doesn't work, post back here with your specific errors (error text required) as well as the relevant snipits from /var/log/syslog as applicable.

Fwd: newbie faq - sorry: recipient lists
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 @: 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.

YOu were getting user unknown in recipient table before, which meant postfix could not figure out who you wanted to send mail to... or if it was even responsible for that domain / user's mail. Now, you have a problem with are you allowed to send me mail?. My first question is: did you overwrite all the config files you had before and use the ones specifically in the tutorial? I suspect not. This error comes about when the remote side is trying to authenticate with an authentication mechanism that the server side doesn't support. Here's why it works locally: When you send locally, you're sending via 127.0.0.1, which is clearly in your mynetworks (as it would be by default). This means you're doing IP authentication to send mail. Thus, it works as long as you're in your own sandbox. When you attempt to send mail from outside your machines self made sandbox of 127.0.0.1/8, then you are required to authenticate. Otherwise, spammers can use you as a relay. So, thus far, it's working properly. Now, on the remote side, when you try to authenticate, you're trying to use PLAIN (plaintext) ,and the server is rejecting that request. This tells me that your /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf file is incorrect, in valid, non-existent, or (at the very least) not setup the way the http://learnlinuxonline.com/servers/how-setup-linux-mail-server-debian-ubuntu dictates. If you double check that article, under the section How to Configure Saslauthd for our Linux Mail Server, you'll see that the second line of the configuration for the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf line specifies: mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN Since your server is not allowing this, you need to check that out. Re-Read the section: Debugging Loggin Failures. If you are still trying to use your own configs, scrap them. Start with these tested configs, and you can modify it after you get it working. Double check every detail, and if it still doesn't work, post back here with your specific errors (error text required) as well as the relevant snipits from /var/log/syslog as applicable.

Regards, Martin S You get that message when the recipient domain is listed in relay_domains, and the recipient address is not listed in relay_recipient_maps. The proper solution depends on how you want postfix to handle your mail. Maybe one of these documents will help: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html If you need more help, we'll need more info on what you're trying to do and what isn't working as expected. For the kind of information we need, please see: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail -- Noel Jones
