postfix doesn't forward with Tutorial On howtoforge..
 

Hello,

I've used the following tutorial to set up postfix with virtual users and virtual domains etc: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_po..._quota_courier

I've just got the following problem:

I've set up the following domain to use with postfix for email blueorder.ath.cx, with an entry in the users table for dratone@blueorder.ath.cx

and the following entry in the forwarding table:
Source: test@blueorder.ath.cx Destination: dratone@blueorder.ath.cx

but when i send a message to test@blueorder.ath.cx i don't get it in dratone@blueorder.ath.cx

I get the following NON-DEBUG (debug is below) error:

Dec 11 11:21:14 web1 postfix/cleanup[11183]: 93951848F5: message-id=<20061211112114.GA11194@web1.destiny.cyso.net>
Dec 11 11:21:14 web1 postfix/qmgr[1243]: 93951848F5: from=<root@web1.destiny.cyso.net>, size=420, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Dec 11 11:21:14 web1 postfix/virtual[11187]: 93951848F5: to=<test@blueorder.ath.cx>, relay=virtual, delay=0, status=bounced (unknown user: "test@blueorder.ath.cx")


With Full Debug (A LOT OF TEXT!) see attachment

so for some reason (as i see in the following part) He does look ip up and see 'test@blueorder.ath.cx' to go to dratone@blueorder.ath.cx but it still uses test@ instead of dratone@

if i use dratone@ directly there isn't a problem (i've also signed up with that email so it does recieve all emails directed to dratone@)

could anybody please help me?

thanks in advanced.

Does any of the users dratone or test exist as a real user?

no, does not exist, i even checked ;-)

And what's with the comma (,) behind the line
dict_mysql_lookup: retrieved field: 0: dratone@blueorder.ath.cx(,)?
Maybe a typo in your database?

No that was just my experimenting, i've tried both with and without the comma (i read a line in the debug log concerning email seperators so i just figured.. before i ask for help i'll try that)

Sorry, out of clues right now.
Though I don't understand what you mean by this:

(i've also signed up with that email so it does recieve all emails directed to dratone@)

Maybe there's a clue?

I just meant that the dratone@blueorder.ath.cx is working seeing i've got the confirmation email from this forum on that account ;-) (and also other mails but just as an example)

I don't know either. Thanks for the trouble though..

Anyone else? ;-)

Does test@blueorder.ath.cx exist in your users table?

No it only exists in my forwarding table.

I did just notice something strange though, watch this:

I did the following 2 telnet sessions to localhost 25:

ehlo localhost

wich would show that test@blueorder.ath.cx is found to be a valid recipient seeing it did not take test@darkrealm.nl (darkrealm.nl is in my domain list) but it did test@blueorder.ath.cx

also: i did actually recieve the BOUCE at my dratone@blueorder.ath.cx email adress but not the original message..

What's in /etc/passwd? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf?
