Aliases not added from ISPConfig

[gregi]

Hi, I have ISPConfig (2.2.18) set up and running on opensuse 10.2. I have 2 domains set up, and I recently added mail.domain1.tld and mail.domain2.tld for user email. Everything seems to be working fine, mail gets sent and recieved, but when I added some aliases to the users, I noticed email to these mails doesn't arrive. I checked etc/aliases and it seems ispconfig doesn't write anything to this file.
etc/aliases:
# This is the aliases file - it says who gets mail for whom.
#
# >>>>>>>>>> The program "newaliases" will need to be run
# >> NOTE >> after this file is updated for any changes
# >>>>>>>>>> to show through to sendmail.
#

# It is probably best to not work as user root and redirect all
# email to "root" to the address of a HUMAN who deals with this
# system's problems. Then you don't have to check for important
# email too often on the root account.
# The "\root" will make sure that email is also delivered to the
# root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe".
#root: joe, \root

# Basic system aliases that MUST be present.
postmaster: root
mailer-daemon: postmaster

# amavis
virusalert: root

# General redirections for pseudo accounts in /etc/passwd.
administrator: root
daemon: root
lp: root

# "bin" used to be in /etc/passwd

newsadm: news
newsadmin: news
usenet: news
ftpadm: ftp
ftpadmin: ftp
ftp-adm: ftp
ftp-admin: ftp
hostmaster: root
mail: postmaster
postman: postmaster
post_office: postmaster
# "abuse" is often used to fight against spam email

# mlmmj needs only one alias to function; this is with a mailinglist in
# /var/spool/mlmmj/myownlist (remember full path):
# myownlist: "| /usr/bin/mlmmj-recieve -L /var/spool/mlmmj/myownlist"

# Majordomo can be used to have mailinglists on your site.
#majordomo: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
#owner-majordomo: root,
#majordomo-owner: root,

# sample entry for a majordomo mailing-list called "test"
# read /usr/doc/packages/majordomo/README.linux for more information
# replace "test" with a new name and put the administrator into
# the "owner-test" alias instead of "root".
#
#test: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing"
#test-outgoing: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test
#test-request: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l test"
#test-approval: owner-test,
#owner-test-outgoing: owner-test,
#
# if you have bulk_mailer installed, you can replace the above
# "test-outgoing" line with the following:
#test-outgoing: "|/usr/bin/bulk_mailer owner-test@host.com /var/lib/majordomo/lists/test"
#


It seems etc/postfix/virtusertable is ok

Has this happened to anyone? am I missing something? Please help :)

ISPConfig doesn't modify /etc/aliases. It's using /etc/postfix/virtusertable onyl for email aliases.

[gregi]

ah, I see... so then I seem to be missing the entries
alias1@domain1.tld user1
alias2@domain1.tld user1

Is it safe to just add them to the file or will they get overwritten by ISPConfig?

[till]

It is not recommended to add them manually. Are the missing aliases listed in the aliases field of the user in the ispconfig interface?

[gregi]

yes, they are listed in ISPConfig

[falko]

Are there any warnings in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log? What's the output of ls -la /root/ispconfig?

[gregi]

When I add a new alias in ISPConfig, this gets added to ispcofig.log

This is the output of ls -la /root/ispconfig:

The outputs look fine...
Are you absolutely sure you added the aliases in ISPConfig?

[gregi]

Yes, I tried removing and adding the aliases again, and this seems to be working fine, the only problem I see is that only lines

alias@mail.domain.tld user
alias@webmail.domain.tld user

get added to virtusertable. Am I correct to assume there should also be

alias@domain.tld

added to this file? (this does not happen on my server, therefore email sent to alias@domain.tld will not get delivered?)

[falko]

Please add a Co-Domain domain.tld (without a hostname) to your web site in ISPConfig.

[gregi]

The problem with that is that I already have a co-domain domain.tld for the site www.domain.tld, so webpages would load by typing either www.domain.tld or just domain.tld in the browser..

[till]

Is your problem a email problem or a website problem? In the posts before you talked about email and not your website.

[gregi]

Sorry, I'll try to clear it up a bit.. I have a site in ISPConfig www.domain.tld, with a co-domain domain.tld, where my website is. I have a second site in ISPConfig mail.domain.tld, with a co-domain webmail.domain.tld, where I have my mail software (horde/imp) and to which I add mail users. Users added to this site have mail delivered without problems to user@domain.tld, but when I add an alias to a user, mail to alias@domain.tld doesn't get delivered. I am guessing this is because lines alias@webmail.domain.tld and alias@mail.domain.tld get added to virtusertable, but line alias@domain.tld doesn't.

[till]

Ok, then you either have to remove the co-domain domain.tld from the site www.domain.tld and add it to the site webmail.domain.tld or you will have to create the mail users in the site www.domain.tld instead of the site webmail.domain.tld.

[gregi]

oh, okay.. thanks for the help! :)
