If you don't post all the related logging, you'll get no further assistance. The logs will show the relevant timestamps, and may lead to further questions. -- Viktor.
Using Postfix 2.6 only for @hostname.sub.domain.com
Hi to all, I’m reading some of configuration examples reported here http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html in order to setup postfix on as a mix of some of them. My goal is to (by supposing is the MX for ): 1) Only clients belonging to .domain.com can use the server for sending and in this case they have to be allowed to send to anyone; 2) Incoming mails are NOT accepted for @sub.domain.com (nor to sub1 and the others), as it was normal, but ONLY for @hostname.sub.domain.com. 3) Relaying never allowed. I hope I was clear and thank you very much for your help. Cheers, —Carlo
Discard mail for local user
I want to discard mail for a local user but I've read the docs and I'm not quite sure exactly how I should go about this. I'm operating a virtual domain environment and have addresses mapped to local user accounts. I have a "noreply" account which is setup to receive messages from numerous addresses. I would like to simply discard any email sent to this local user. I've tried searching for something similar but most solutions seem to be tailored to work with specific email addresses rather than a local account. There are too many email addresses mapped to this local user to add individual rules for each email address. I've tried adding a discard line in transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport but I think I'm on the wrong path here. Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Postfix has "discard" transport. The simplest way is: transport: discard.invalid discard:silently virtual: u...@example.comuser@discard.invalid This keeps the transport table simple, free of per-user entries, that might otherwise motivate "slow" LDAP or SQL transport lookups which are on the critical path for the queue manager. LDAP and SQL are just fine for virtual(5) lookups which happen in multiple smtpd(8) and cleanup(8) processes in parallel. > I'm operating a virtual domain environment and have addresses mapped to > local user accounts.

Discarding "noreply" may be unwise if mail is sent with "noreply" as the "From:" or "Reply-To:" address. In this particular case, I would go with a per-user transport entry: transport: nore...@example.com error:5.1.1 No reply at this address which rejects any mail sent to that address, so the sender notices that their reply went nowhere. Discards should be avoided with addresses people might inadvertantly send mail to. > I've tried searching for something similar but most solutions seem to > be tailored to work with specific email addresses rather than a local > account.

One way or another you have a list of addresses to not deliver. If discard is the wise route, then my initial reply works, but to reject at SMTP time, each original address must directly resolve to the error transport before any rewriting. > I've tried adding a discard line in transport_maps = > hash:/etc/postfix/transport but I think I'm on the wrong path here. You provide no detail of what you did, and how it failed. So the above is basically content-free. -- Viktor.
