Hello,

I seem to be having a problem with Postfix. It used to work fine, but the problem stems from me renaming my normal user account.

Whenever I try to send mail to the newly renamed account if I look at the mail log I get the following error message: Unknown user in local recipient table and I never get the message.

I have rerun newaliases a hundred times to no avail. I have unmerged/re-merged Postfix to no avail. I searched the Internet and found that there is a line in the main.cf file I can un-rem out that might help but since I didn't have to do it before I would prefer not to do it now. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks..

-Chia

When you say you renamed your user account, what exactly did that entail?

I'd be willing to bet that if you used the useradd command it would work.
