Hi Jeff, In the end I found the problem. I tied to set-up postfix like this was a standard install. But that was my downfall. I had added the domain to the "virtual" file and to the postfix config file. That in it's self is bad. But is caused postfix to look for an alias of this virtual domain. Once I removed both entries it passed the email off the dbmail delivery agent.
Thanks, Scotty. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Brenton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 5, 2004 6:46 PM To: Scott Johnson Subject: Re: [Dbmail] postfix gives User unknown in virtual alias table Hello Scott, SJ> I have a dbmail server behind a firewall.

If your postfix machine has access to your SQL server, you need to teach it how to query the dbmail aliases table. That's easier if you're dealing with MySQL (support for this comes with the postfix source code), but it can be done fir Postgres, if you find the right patches. You'll add a line like this to your main.cf file like: local_recipient_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mailbox.cf and the configuration file will contain something like: user = postfix password = [password] dbname = dbmail table = aliases hosts = sql.mydomain.com select_field = alias where_field = alias The, postfix will accept mail ONLY if the addressee exists in the aliases table. -- Best regards, Jeff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
