Hello,
I'm running an Arch Linux machine and a Postfix virtual mailbox
hosting server with a Mysql backend. The software versions are:
postfix 2.8.6-1
Mysql 5.5.17-1
Dovecot 2.0.15-1
The Dovecot I'm using for pop3s and imaps.
Right now I have one domain I'll call example.com I've got one user
that I've created in the mysql database called user1, that's working
fine, his virtual mail storage location was created, mail can be sent
and delivered properly.
My problem is system accounts, root first, r...@example.com when I
telnet to the host and try to deliver email to that user I get an
error message user unknown in virtual mailbox table, great! The first
problem is system utilities, anacron, when delivering mail to
r...@example.com created the virtual mailbox area for the root user
and delivers mail in to it, it was my understanding this was not
suppose to happen. A little later in this message I will show my
configs to see if I messed up somewhere. Two other accounts that do
this are the webmaster and postmaster accounts, they get created and
can have system mail delivered to them, but not external mail.
I'm trying to forward webmaster, postmaster, and root to user1, in
setting up these virtual forwardings can I give each account a unique
subject such as (webmaster) to differentiate those messages?
Hi, welcome to the postfix user mailing list!
As documented, a setup where SOME accounts are LOCAL is achieved by
following the instructions in
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#some_local
