Hi, I have successfully set up Postfix (2.11.0) together with Dovecot (2.2.9), which works perfectly for normal user accounts.
Now I have tried to set up a small distribution list by adding the following line to /etc/aliases: update: :include:/etc/postfix/listen/update Of course, I did not forget to call newaliases afterwards. But when I send a mail to this address, /var/log/mail.log contains the following messages: Mar 4 11:34:35 s18169204 postfix/qmgr[18969]: 3A3AA2C70A7B8: from=<s.guent...@in-put.de>, size=3076, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 4 11:34:35 s18169204 postfix/pipe[24898]: 3A3AA2C70A7B8: to=<upd...@xxxxxxx.de>, relay=dovecot, delay=151689, delays=151689/0.02/0/0.02, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) The alias, virtual and dovecot parameters in /etc/postfix/main.cf are the following: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-aliases.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-maps.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-domains.cf local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 What could be the reason, that /etc/aliases is ignored? The mail domain is only defined in virtual_mailbox_domains, not in mydestination Thanks for any hint or suggestion, Stefan
