Dear all, I hope you all are very well.
I have come with a strange problem with my email server which is running almost 2 years now. actually I have never tried the mail forwarding with the system but it has the option. Today I need to add the mail forwarding feature and found that the forwarding is not working. This is a suse 10.2 server with postfix-2.5.1-28.5. I have alredy gone through the mail; mail.info; mail.err and mail.warn log but no error reports related to this issue. More details --------------------- here is the config from my main.cf for forwarding `````````````````````````````` virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf and the mysql-email2email.cf has the mysql query with the correct database, userid/password to communicate the mysql. More over if I check like `````````````````````` postmap -q <email-id> mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf ```````````````````````````` then it replies back the righ alias already set for that email id. but still the mails received by the <email-id> and not its alias email address. Is there anything required to enable the forwarding ? Here is the postconf -n ````````````````````````````````````````` alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases biff = no canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 disable_dns_lookups = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 20480000 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain mydomain = <mydomain> myhostname = <my hostname> mynetworks_style = subnet newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES receive_override_options = no_address_mappings relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = maildrop smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/postfix.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/postfix.pem smtpd_use_tls = yes strict_8bitmime = no strict_rfc821_envelopes = no unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 ````````````````````````````````````````` with regards
