Transport on Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail

[clark61]

Hi all,
I have made a server as http://howtoforge.com/virtual-users-...l-debian-lenny, and it works very fine, now I have to go a step further ie so that emails are redirected to another mail server reading the howto the necessary function is supplyed by transport (example.com smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld Delivers all emails for example.com via smtp to the server mail.anotherdomain.com)
and follow this instruction I put in mail data base this:
INSERT INTO `transport` (`domain`, `transport`) VALUES ('mydomain.com', 'smtp:webmail.otherdomain.it');
ok but if for example i send a mail to clark@mydomain.com and the user clark@mydomain.com doesn't exist on this server but exist on server webmail.otherdomain.it in my syslog appears:
Apr 2 09:49:36 adelaide postfix/smtpd[6768]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.somedomain.info[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]: 450 4.1.1 <clark@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table; from=<clark@somedomain.info> to=<clark@mydomain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.somedomain.it>
Apr 2 09:49:37 adelaide postfix/smtpd[6768]: disconnect from mail.somedomain.info[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]
but if I put in the user table clark@mydomain.com without password and even without creating the maildir /home/vmai/mydomain.com/clark the mail is redirected correctly.
Perhaps I misundertood, but I thought that if you redirect all mail for a certain domain to another it should do anyway and then the other server will check whether the user exists.
What do I fail?
Any help is greatly appreciated and I thank you now
My best regards

i've added user and server to transports table and set smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient to no in /etc/postfix/main.cf

Hi Bukva,
First many thanks.
Why also the user? is it not the same as adding the address in mail table?
Furthermore how did you add the user to transport table? as if it were a domain and then SMTP:newdomain?

[bukva]

sorry, i meant user mail like
INSERT INTO `mail`.`transport` (
`domain` ,
`transport`
)
VALUES (
'user@domain.com', 'smtp:secondmailserver.domain.com'
);

and this user does not exist in table 'users'

Hi Bukva,
I tried to include only the domain in transport, and to change the main.cf adding smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient = no and seems to work well.
I thank you very much.

hi

i have a similar question to topic, but not with transport table but users/forwarding.
is it possible to create a user account (in users table) and forward messages to another email-address at the same time?
can i choose between 'keep and forward' and 'forward only'?

is it possible to have a mailbox, but the option to forward mails or keep and forward, without removing the user mailbox.

putting the email-address to users table and forward table at the same time doesn't work, the entry in "forward" is ignored.


thanks for your help!

cheers,
thomas

I'm not sure about this one. I guess, instead of using the forward table, you can use maildrop to forward emails.
