Send Copy To / Maildrop filter forwarding not working

I tried creating a new mailbox on one of the domains hosted on my server which is a catchall for the domain. Mail gets delivered to the user fine, but forwards are not, using either the "send copy to" option or a custom mail filter recipe in the form cc "!user@forwardrecipient.com"

Any thoughts?

 

I had started with another tutorial, but then I used Perfect Server for Ubuntu 9.04:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-3

While it's possible that there might be some legacy stuff in there from the initial tutorial I used, it's somewhat unlikely that is the culprit. The server has been working flawlessly for a year and a half.

I would appreciate any pointers as to how to diagnose the "send copy to" / mail filter issue.

 

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

 

I have plenty of errors in mail.err. The most common one (every few minutes) is of the form:

Jan 28 07:52:54 mail postfix/trivial-rewrite[2678]: fatal: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem.

Sometimes I also get:

Jan 26 18:45:04 mail postfix/error[2958]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relaydomains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem

I have my mysql connections turned pretty far down:

grep connection /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
max_user_connections=60
max_connections=100


Also, timeouts are low:

grep time /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
interactive_timeout=10
long_query_time = 2
wait_timeout=40
connect_timeout=30

This is because I'm on a slice/server with 256mb of ram.

 

Are the MySQL details in /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf correct? Does your Postfix come with MySQL support? What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

I think you might have to allow more MySQL connections, and I recommend you use at least 512MB RAM for your server.

 

The details in /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf are correct.

Do you use 127.0.0.1 or localhost in /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf?
