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.
