postfix - myhostname, mydoman problem

[adam]

I have vhcs2 setup with several virtual domains.

My postfix log keeps reporting the following error:

Sep 19 12:00:01 viking postfix/trivial-rewrite[32391]: warning: do not list domain todiefor.nu in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Sep 19 12:11:51 viking postfix/trivial-rewrite[782]: warning: do not list domain todiefor.nu in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Sep 19 12:18:31 viking postfix/virtual[2012]: fatal: gethostbyname: Success
Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/virtual socket while reading input attribute name
Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: private/virtual socket: malformed response
Sep 19 12:18:32 viking postfix/qmgr[31125]: warning: transport virtual failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description

in my master.cf file I have set the following because of some of my mails being reject with an incorrect HELO statement.

#myhostname = viking
myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu
#mydomain = viking.local
mydomain = todiefor.nu
myorigin = $mydomain

Now, my server hostname is called "viking.todiefor.nu" and my reversedns is "viking.todiefor.nu"

In my vhcs2 domains file i have one of many other vdmn_entry records which reads:

todiefor.nu                     vdmn_entry

Bearing in mind that i use a few other virtual hosts with completely different names, what do i need to do to stop the above error happening in postfix mail.warn? I don't *seem* to have a problem sending or receiving emails but i'd like to stop the warning anyway.

Is the above warning a problem?

[adam]

myhostname = viking
mydomain = viking.local

i've had to put it back like this for now becuase the emails stopped working.

But the HELO tag reads just "viking" instead of "viking.todiefor.nu".

Any ideas how i can fix this without interferring with the virtual hosting domain?

Change myhostname back to

myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu

What's in mydestination? Maybe you can post the full main.cf here (please strip out the comments)?

I did what you said and it's working better now. I still have a strange problem that I've recived mail from people and its come trhough as "blah@viking.local" which is weird.

There's no mydestination line in your main.cf. What's the output of

postconf -d | grep mydestination

?

[adam]

mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain


sorry, i must have accidentally missed it when cutting and pasting.
result of that command is

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks
relay_domains = $mydestination

[falko]

Please run

postconf -e 'mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost'
postconf -e 'myhostname = viking.todiefor.nu'
postconf -e 'mydomain = $myhostname'

and restart Postfix afterwards.

Thanks , Falko. Everything seems to be perfect now.

I'd like to express my gratitude and thanks for everything on this site. I've pretty much used all your guides and knowledge here to set up my business server (I installed VHCS2 to manage my virtual hosting) and it's been a tough ride and i've learned a lot.

I will defintely be supporting your site with the €35 subscription or whatever it was, it's worth the donation.

[adam]

actually, I do have another question concering the mail log.

host eni-mail01.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.4] said: 451 Invalid sender <www-data@viking.local> (in reply to RCPT TO command)


to=<hxxx@passagen.se>, relay=eni-mail02.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.5], delay=282682, status=deferred (host eni-mail02.sth.basefarm.net[80.76.148.5] said: 451 Invalid sender <www-data@viking.local> (in reply to RCPT TO command))


Are these errors with my server or problems with the destination?

[falko]

The destination server is rejecting your mails because viking.local is no valid domain.
