Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft)

[knight_killer]

Hi,

I have problems with this HOWTO: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_po...er_ubuntu_edgy

I tried it under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
I want a Mailbox "test@roman-ganz.net" and I have NO Unix-User called "test". I tried to send a Mail from the server "sylon.net" to my new server "roman-ganz.net"

I cant receive the Mail, getting a delivery Error:

<test@roman-ganz.net>: unknown user: "test"

The Maillog is that:

<host>:~# cat /var/log/maillog

Jul 17 18:29:08 <host> postfix/qmgr[18140]: AAC3517A50148: removed

(Replaced host name with <host> and email address with "mail.adress@server.com")

The email address and the domain are in the MySQL-Tables. The tables "forwardings" and "transport" are empty.

I cant get the Mail via IMAP either... but I think, we should solve that problem here first.

Can somebody help me? I'm sure I'm not the first who tried this HOWTO

That's the problem: remove roman-ganz.net from the mydestination line in /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart Postfix.
A domain can either have virtual users or system users with this setup, but not both at the same time.

Yes, your the man! I should really better read the logs
But in this case the HOWTO is wrong on Page 2:

postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.example.com'
postconf -e 'mydestination = server1.example.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain'
postconf -e 'mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8'

should be:

postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.example.com'
postconf -e 'mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain'
postconf -e 'mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8'

BTW: it was not in /etc/postfix/local-host-names but in the /etc/postfix/main.cf

Thanks for Help!

I don't use server1.example.com for virtual mail accounts, so the tutorial is right.
