 |
|
Hello,
I wanted to configure a new Mail Server using Postfix, Dovecot, PostfixAdmin and MySQL.
I followed the http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Mail_server_using_Postfix_and_Dovecot article but it doesn't work properly.
I cannot receive new mails.
Mar 24 19:39:16 infosky postfix/local[4473]: E996620A57B: to=<admin@infosky.ro>, relay=local, delay=0.12, delays=0.07/0.03/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "admin")
If I send an email from my external account to my new configured domain and account, Postfix bounces back.
I believe Postfix cannot locate a local real unix user named "admin".
It should be able to LOOK INTO MySQL and take it from there.... "local=virtual" or something like this.
How the hell do I instruct Postfix to look into mysql ? and please don't give me lines from the article above, because they are not working.

You don't really want local=virtual as it's not true.
This bit does the virtual stuff in Postfix.
| Code: |
To tell Postfix about the maps that you've just set up, add the following to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domain_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
|
HOWTO looks sane to me. |

If you followed the stated guide, it won't be to do with local users. The way that guide sets things up, there are no local users associated with mail accounts (the only place where local users and mail accounts cross over is the "Local Aliases" section).
What domains and users do you have setup? Did you set them up using postfixadmin or some other method?
Also check the dovecot logs to see what that's doing. |

both the domains and the Mailboxes accounts were set up using Postfix Admin.
All the records are in the MySQL Database.
For some reason, Postfix can't get them from SQL and it tryes to look in tlhe Local accounts (the system), which is incorrect.
Also Dovecot reports no problems in the Log, only Postfix |

| Tip of the day: Don't try things on live servers. Use a test setup! |
