Hi, I'm operating a very small mail server and am having trouble getting 2 apparantly antagonistic behaviours to work.
The server is responsible for domainA.org and domain1...domain5.org. I want all mail to domainA to be sent to a catchall address/local user and I also want domain1-5 to act as if they were identical, i.e. a mail to p...@domain1.org gets sent to the same place a mail to p...@domain4.org would. For this I have specified the following settings: main.cf: myhostname = domainA.org mydomain = domainA.org myorigin = domainA.org mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_domains = domain1.org domain2.org domain3.org domain4.org domain5.org /etc/postfix/virtual contains (amongst more things): @domainA.org catchall p...@domain3.org existant_local_user (yes catchall is the actual user name and exists on that system) Trying to send a mail to p...@domain3.org returns: 5.1.1 host mail.domainA.org [IP was here] said: <p...@domain3.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table (H-BADRCPT) ..... what? Before this version I tried having domain1-5.org added to the mydestination variable instead of virtual_alias_domains. This allowed me to send mail to p...@domain3.org BUT it would end up in the catchall mailbox which I couldnt understand either because the catchall should only grab mails directed at domainA.org, no? Additional info: catchall and existant_local_user do exist on that system, have home folders owned by themselves (+ respective group), home folders have the proper 751. I did run postmap /etc/postfix/virtual as well as postfix reload before testing. This is very confusing to me and any help is greatly appreciated.
