Hello All,
I have two questions as follows:
1. I have set up the postfix server as follows:

No problem with incoming or outgoing email so far for
cantoenvivo. However, I can send email from isinglive.co.uk but
cannot receive incoming email.
mail.log shows:-
Aug 19 11:29:43 rosario postfix/qmgr[19865]: 0922425A665:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>, size=588, nrcpt=1 (queue
active)
Aug 19 11:29:43 rosario postfix/smtp[20824]: 0922425A665:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>,
relay=none, delay=170615, status=deferred (connect to
isinglive.co.uk[80.189.101.120]: Connection refused)
Port 25 is open and is working for cantoenvivo.
Question 1?
Does mail.log mean that my isp is not allowing isinglive traffic
through my static ip? If so, where can I get a static ip
independent of my isp?
No, this is typically a NAT issue why you cannot connect, but
that's not the real issue here.
An easy way to solve this? Put 'isinglive.co.uk' into
mydestination. Then, Postfix will not try to route this via smtp.
The rest of the internet is not affected.
Question 2?
I added some aliases to .../posttix/alias file for isinglive, some
of which are the same for cantoenvivo e.g. "admin: cantoenvivo"
and "admin: isinglive". When it acme to updating aliases.db with
the post "aliases" command. I recieved the following error warning:
postalias: warning: /etc/postfix/aliases.db: duplicate entry: "admin"
Can I not use the same alias mapped to different domains? Is a
valid alis for one domain also valid for the other(s)? How can i
configure the same alias for separate domains.
In a hash file, you cannot list a LHS value more than once.
You CAN list multiple values, separated by commas, on the RHS of
that entry.
Note: alias_maps typically is *not* for DOMAINS but for user
accounts or remote email addresses.
If you want to separate two domains, see http://www.postfix.org/
VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_alias

Thanks to Brian and mouss,
Your suggestions were very helpful but not conclusive. I put
isinglive.co.uk in in my destinationsand incoming email worked but
only for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I listed isinglive as suggested
on the RHS of the aliases file following the main domain, separated
by a comma e.g. "admin: maindomainm, additionaldomain". This did not
work. I decided to try your suggestion at virtual domains but i need
some clarification to reconsile what I want to do with what postfix
is able to do. i will make a separate post in this regard.
Thanks for your help thus far.
Best regards Rupert
