thank you for the hint! i activated the query-log and the query is executed ok. i also checked it via postmap -q hutzenp...@domain.de mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf (which correctly did not return anything) and postmap -q correctu...@domain.de mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf which did return the correct entry, e.g. user169 so it seems mysql is not at fault.
also, when i tested it with a hash-file, it sent "successfully" to an address that was not listed in said file. unfortunately, now i guess i´ll have to check any and all other config parameters that have anything to do with virtual delivery ^_^; here goes the postconf -n: broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix inet_interfaces = 192.168.12.7 127.0.0.1 mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 20480000 mydestination = localhost mydomain = domain.de myhostname = mail.domain.de mynetworks = 192.168.12.0/24 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain relayhost = smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_destination, permit smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = mail.domain.de smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/certs/cert.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/certs/cert.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/certs/key.pem smtpd_tls_received_header = no smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.de virtual_transport = dovecot transport_maps reads thus: domain.de : .domain.de : * smtp:192.168.12.8 (this is the external "firewall"-postfix-server) the mail.log reads thus: Dec 11 17:05:05 mehl postfix/smtpd[16897]: connect from unknown[192.168.12.1] Dec 11 17:05:05 mehl postfix/smtpd[16897]: DD60514A03F3: client=unknown[192.168.12.1], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=user169 Dec 11 17:05:05 mehl postfix/cleanup[16901]: DD60514A03F3: message-id=<4ee4d4b2.2020...@domain.de> Dec 11 17:05:06 mehl postfix/qmgr[16586]: DD60514A03F3: from=<s....@domain.de>, size=858, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 11 17:05:06 mehl postfix/smtpd[16897]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.12.1] Dec 11 17:05:06 mehl postfix/pipe[16902]: DD60514A03F3: to=<grmbl...@domain.de>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.32, delays=0.18/0/0/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Dec 11 17:05:06 mehl postfix/qmgr[16586]: DD60514A03F3: removed the address grmblash does not really exist ;-), when i send to an existing address, the only "difference" is that postfix/pipe has the correct target as to, e.g. user...@dmain.de thank you all for you hints, i hope this help shed some light on the problem. =) best regards sil -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:26:40 +0100 > Von: Reindl Harald <h.rei...@thelounge.net> > An: postfix-users@postfix.org > Betreff: Re: virtual_alias_maps / mysql problem > > > Am 11.12.2011 15:18, schrieb lupin...@gmx.net: > > thank you for you reply. > > virtual_mailbox_domains is set, as is virtual_transport. > > do you mean using a hash-file to test it or for permanent use? > > there are some 500 mail-users on the server, who change relatively often > and who have each a number of aliases..i´d rather avoid using a hash > file, especially because the mysql-query is supposed to work =) > > > > is there some handy way of testing, what postfix receives from this > mysql-check? > > what about activate querylog in mysqld to look what really happens and > c&p interesting queries into a mysql-shell to look at the results? > -- -- "Do you know what happens to a toad struck by lightning..?
