Thanks. Exactly what I needed.
al...@example.com   us...@example.com, us...@example.com
Why don't drop RHS domain here (if example.com is local)?

local_recipient_maps setting is not workling as expected!

[Venkatachala Upadhya]

Hello users,

I have a Linux 2.6.28-17-server #58-Ubuntu SMP  server with postfix version 
2.5.5

My intention is to use virtual users of the same ubuntu server in the mysql 
table and use
the table look up mechanism for the mail arriving and deliver it to the mail 
box in the
mail spool rather than creating a login for each user. 

In main.cf file, I have modified local_recipient_maps as

local_transport = local
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps  
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_user_table
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

/etc/aliases is

# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster:root


the file content of /etc/postfix/virtual_user_table is

# This is is virtual user table created for testing solution to
# postfix virtual user table

lampat  /home/lampat/mailbox/mails


If I send a mail (local in the same ubuntu box) to lampat, I am getting the 
rejected
mail from mailer deamon informing no such user.

The mail header contains the following line ( also many other lines)

Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "lampat"


What could be the problem? What parameter I could be missing?
 

 regards,
Upadhya.

You need to stop and read
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox

Not sure where you received directions to make changes to that.
The local transport is for *system users* which you are trying to not
use by your description.

Re: local_recipient_maps setting is not workling as expected!

[Venkatachala Upadhya]

Hello Brian, users,

I do not have any hosted domain. I have only one registered domain, example 
mailhost.mailorg.com. 
In the same domain, I want to host the mail users such that those users are in 
mysql table.
Such users' mail is available, for example,  in /mailhome/vitrual_user/user1 
... /mailhome/virtual_userN
Those users do not have the login accounts, but they have mail account.
Each virtual user mail address looks like this, 

virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
.
.
.
virt_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com

More over the same domain mailhost.mailorg.com also has a set of users 
who have login accounts. Those users also have mail accounts and their mail 
address would be

login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com
.
.
.
login_us...@mailhost.mailorg.com




By referring the http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox, 
I read the following 


NEVER list a virtual MAILBOX domain name as a mydestination domain! 
NEVER list a virtual MAILBOX domain name as a virtual ALIAS
domain! 


did I miss any thing?



 regards,
Upadhya.

Sharing the domain name will result in an unnecessarily

virtual.example.com.


Yes, it is possible to share a single domain name.  Study

Because you may regret it later, unqualified addresses are implicitly
qualified with $myorigin, which may or may not stay local in the future.

Are you aliasing the user whose email address is "u...@example.com",
and whose mailbox may be subject to further independent rewriting/routing?

l...@example.netu...@example.com, ...

Or are you aliasing the local mailbox of the Unix login account "user"?

l...@example.netu...@localhost, ...

Or are you aliasing "user" in the default mail domain of the system
($myorigin), who would receive unqualified email sent by e.g. cron?

l...@example.netuser, ...

For lists, the first use-case is the most common. The 3rd use-case
leads to surprises when $myorigin is changed to be non-local, but
local delivery was intended (a mis-configured case 2).

Trouble with clamav-milter

Any idea what could be wrong here? Is this a Postfix issue or clamav-milter ?

What is the 'miltersocket' setting in the 'clamav-milter.conf' file?
BTW, you should post the complete output of 'postconf -n'. It is
possible the problem lies somewhere else.

Perhaps your kernel does not like the way that Postfix smtpd sends
the Milter sockets to Postfix cleanup. 

There have been some incompatible changes in Postfix workarounds
for broken file descriptor passing implementations.

The workaround for OpenBSD 3.something was removed because 1)
OpenBSD 4.something no longer needs it; 2) it broke on 64-bit
NetBSD; 3) other systems never needed the workaround.

What is your OS, and what is your Postfix version?

Most milters should work with no changes when using the

Hi! here's it is: MilterSocket inet:7...@localhost
That's the complete output from postconf -n due that it's only for testing

This is not a postfix related issue.

postfix does not write logs to files. postfix sends logs to your system
syslog daemon.

so you need to ask/check how to configure your syslog daemon. if you use
the standard syslogd daemon, the config is in /etc/syslog.conf. you'll
get more help on your system specific forum/list.

I am not aware of problems with Linux kernels.

I have two pieces of home work for you.

1) Perhaps your system runs "security" software that is not configured
to allow Postfix to send file descriptors over UNIX-domain sockets.
In that case there may be errors in the logfile.  that explains
WHY it cannot

2) There is more mail logging from the process 1177 BEFORE it gives
up. Please show the complete record.

try the DEBUG README. it contains many infos/suggestions to help you
diagnose the problem.

(that said, "connection refused" is a network problem. so make sure
postfix is listening and that you have no routing/firewall issues...)

SPF Setup

[Asai]

Hi,

Trying to set up SPF on Postfix, using 2.3.  However, I'm not finding

libexec/postfix/smtpd-policy.pl


anywhere on my server.  Can someone point me to where I might be able to 
find this?

An smtpd-policy.pl is part of Postfix source code.

What documentation says that the file is installed in libexec/postfix?

Sharing the domain name will result in an unnecessarily complicated setup.  
*Much* better to either spend a couple dollars on another domain name, or use a 
subdomain such as virtual.example.com.

Yes, it is possible to share a single domain name.  Study 
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html for hints.

Re: local_recipient_maps setting is not workling as expected!

[Venkatachala Upadhya]

Hello Noel, users,

The subdomain part of the solution looks promising for my situation. 
I would like to read more on this and understand the possible solution.
Any example based documentation or the pointers will help me. 

Please

 regards,
Upadhya.
