Hello,
I have moved from Sendmail to Postfix and eliminated Student email

then his email is rejected as "unknown user". I can see from my logs
below that the using "postfix/smtp" gets forwarded and the other one
using "postfix/local" gets rejected.
Could someone tell me why it's doing that and what I can do to fix
that? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the list!
Unfortunately, you seem to have missed the important welcome message:
"TO REPORT A PROBLEM, PLEASE SEE
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail";
Sorry, I missed that.
Does the *nix account "student1" exist?
No, it doesn't exist.
Since "mydomain.com" is listed in mydestination and the user does not
exist, we see the expected behavior.
You are using virtual_alias_maps which does allows you to send to your
"aliastest" user since it exists as the key.
Brian, thanks for helping me out but "aliastest" in not in my
virtual_alias_maps "student1" is. "student1" is in the "aliastest" list
among other users. What I don't understand is why Postfix see "student1"
as unknown user when using "aliastest" even though it's working when
sending directly to stude...@mydomain.com?
After the message is received, virtual_alias_maps are used for
rewriting messages to it's destination by the cleanup(8) daemon.

If you don't want bounces sent, then don't have bad addresses returned
from virtual_alias_maps.
