Hello users, I have a Linux 2.6.28-17-server #58-Ubuntu SMP server with postfix version 2.5.5
My intention is to use virtual users of the same ubuntu server in the mysql table and use the table look up mechanism for the mail arriving and deliver it to the mail box in the mail spool rather than creating a login for each user. In main.cf file, I have modified local_recipient_maps as local_transport = local local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_user_table alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases /etc/aliases is # See man 5 aliases for format postmaster: root the file content of /etc/postfix/virtual_user_table is # This is is virtual user table created for testing solution to # postfix virtual user table lampat /home/lampat/mailbox/mails If I send a mail (local in the same ubuntu box) to lampat, I am getting the rejected mail from mailer deamon informing no such user. The mail header contains the following line ( also many other lines) Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "lampat" What could be the problem? What parameter I could be missing? regards, Upadhya. --
