why no matter what email I send to a user I get this error relay1 postfix/local[4023]: 75941291D4: to=<username@domainname.com>, relay=local, delay=0.14, delays=0.07/0.02/0/0.05, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "username")
View 2 RepliesI have this strange error - I switched from postfix 2.6.5 to 2.8.2 and I some mailservers cannot send mail to me. One of them was some sendmail server. I have virtual alias maps in mysql. It works fine for almost all server that are sending mail to me, but some of them seems to send mails as user@FQDN instead of user@virtualdomain my machine name is x49.tvujweb.cz, and mz email is kamil.horky@servis-it.net but in server logs is that user kamil.horky@x49.tvujweb.cz cannot be found in virtual alias maps.
here is my postconf:
Code:
2bounce_notice_recipient = postmaster
access_map_defer_code = 450
access_map_reject_code = 554
address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval = 12h

I've setup postfix using mysql tables and all works except for sending to an alias. The mysql logs show that postfix is only looking at the mailbox table for where to deliver the mail for the alias. However it is not looking in the virtual alias maps table. There are no complaints from postfix on startup to indicate that there is anything wrong, and if I send to a virtual domain listed as a relay on the server it does look up the virtual alias table... even though the domain is not hosted on the server....
So the question I have is where to look next? The mysql log shows the expected lookups from postfix EXCEPT for the virtual alias map queries.... why would it not be checking the table? Since it is not looking up the virtual alias it bounces the addresses back to sender complaining that the user doesn't exist... It does deliver to a virtal mailbox, however again it never checks the vitual alias table.... so it only delivers since there's a mailbox for it rather than needing an alias...
I have set up a debian 5 server with ISPConfig and PostFix using Perfect Server toturial [url].
Now i have huge problem i'm getting eather "No such user here" message from SMTP server hosted at hosting provider or Unknow User: name from my ISP's SMTP server (free mails they provide)...
Mail LOG:
Code:
I am currently running a apache/postfix email service on my server. I am using aliases for two addresses for example:
trscookie@serverone.com
trscookie@secondserver.com
so the emails no matter which domain receives the email trscookie always will receive the email.
However I am unable to work out how to 'reverse' this process, for example.
If i was to go to secondserver.com/webmail I would like the emails to get sent from trscookie@secondserver.com however they are currently all coming from serverone.com. Is it possible to configure this so that it is sent from the correct domain?
Here is my main.cf:

so i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens

SMTP server: errors from unknown[ip address]
<boring stuff snipped>
In: RCPT TO: <server@my domain>
Out: 550 5.1.1 <server@my domain>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Session aborted, reason: lost connection Now I cannot seem to find anything via Google, as when I put "server@" anywhere in the string, I just get web hosting or other kroomst. The emails usually come from legit places, usually hotels. Does this mean they are sending bad emails, i.e. they have a Trojan/worm, or is this a live hack attempt?. I believe the later, as I might get upto 3 domains from the one ip address, which is always, NOT associated with the listed domain. Not causing me any issues, except I have been getting a lot recently.
i have ubuntu 10.10 but now i have problem to access it so i boot from my live CD this what i get in checkcdfordefects.png when i select Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer that i get logo of ubuntu and take long time to load and not see desktop when press esc this error that i get GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

when I try to send emails to new created emails account, I get this error:
<teste@topdapop.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table�
And if I try to send a e-mail, the authentication fails if I setup the account at the desktop email client to password requirement on.
But it works when I try it using a webmail client (Horde) and I receive the email.The old emails accounts work fine. The new accounts and old ones were created with Plesk.I find an entry with
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mail_auth_view | grep teste@topdapop.com
I get no output from
strings /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual.db | grep teste@topdapop.com
Using mchk and mailmng does not seems to change that.
I also found the file /etc/postfix/virtual.db .strings /etc/postfix/virtual.db : no output
host postfix/qmgr[13020]: warning: connect to transport amavisd-new: No such file or directory
How can I fix this error? I have searched the inet but can't seem to find a solution.
I'm running an up-to-date Lucid Lynx, full encryption with LUKS on my Eee 1005HA. Since yesterday, after booting, the only "X" is can see is the mouse cursor above a console-like text, saying:
Code:
(process_290) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
init: ureadahead main process (410) terminated with status 5
fsck [clean, blah bla, check deferred, on battery]
[code]....
So, I googled for the getpwuid_r thing. I found a blog saying to install nscd (did so) and run it. But: To my inconvenience, after every booting, I have to switch to console 1, log in, run "sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart" and then "sudo restart gdm".
I'm having a problem whereby I'm able to send mail to a mailbox from several different email addresses and SMTP servers (gmail, RoadRunner broadband), but I'm unable to send mail to the same address from one particular account, the SMTP server for which runs on a mediaTemple (dv) 3.0 box with CentOS 5 Final.I've spent a full workday on the forums, trying to troubleshoot the issue, and I'm running out of ideas.The server on which I'm having the mail processing problem is a mediaTemple (ve) running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (Linux 2.6.18-028stab070.7 #1 SMP Fri Oct 1 13:53:00 MSD 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux), with ISPConfig 3. Here's how I setup the mail-related aspects of the Ubuntu box:
Code:
apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d

Here is what i do: make clean make makefiles CCARGS='-DEF_CONFIG_DIR="/opt/product/postfix-2.6.5/etc"

make install then i got this error: postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix): No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 I don't understand why it's checking the usr/libexec folder for the daemons although I've set the folder to /opt/product/postfix-2.6.5/libexec in the makefile.

Many of mails sent from my mail server that are in Queue;The main reason is deffered by domains like yahoo,aol,etc.but there is one more error that i keep getting and that is Host Unknown,Below is an example from mail log,The catch is,test mail sent on the same email id sent from my personal mail from the same server i.e. url was deliveredHowever,another mail containing client information sent from customercare@mycompanysdomain ended up in queue.

I need to instruct sendmail to accept mails that are destined to users that are not available on my server and then forward those emails to catchall@mydomain.tld.Please remember that i don't want to forward every single mail to catchall user. I just want to forward those emails which would be destined for users that do not exist on my server.i have used define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:catchall@d.com')but it doesn't seems to work.
View 2 Replies View Relatedstart working with SA+Amavis+clamd+postfix+dovecot.will be my filter:spamassassin+amavisd-new+clamd. 1 Server will be my mail server: postfix+dovecot. Like u see, the emails from the outside reach first the filter, latter the mailbox. Now, I have seen in my log files, that if I receive a email to a "unknown user", the filter doesn't detect this and process the email and send it to the mail server. Exist a way to setup the filter to first check if the user exist and them apply all hard work and latter send the email to the mail server

how is limitation with ip_recent where highest value for hit_count is 20,and how i need to modify and recompile ip_recent.But i was not able find anything about either modify or recompiling that module.I have cent os 5.4 64 bit,iptables are installed over yum.Also i have 4 servers with completely identical configuration,yet on two servers portflood works while on other two it reporting that error.Maybe it was different install cd which caused this,but again i dont know why this doesnt work since iptables version are indetical.
I have a Fedora box running a domain and a sub domain. It also is the mail server running Postfix and Dovecot. I have created a new user account in the Virtual Alias.conf file and run postfix reload.

I have a mail server taking care of mail for my 4 domains; the first is used for virtually all mail, the second rarely used anymore, the third is virtually 100% spam the past year(?), and the fourth isn't in use (and never has been, so no spam). What I'd like to do is to reject all mail to the third domain. Right now this is what I get (I tried to send to a nonexistent address from gmail):

Since my username (xyz@) is the same for all domains, I could (or so I hope) change the reject message to give a hint to replace [URL] with [URL] and try again.
i need to configure postfix on centos to relay email from the internet to the Exchange Server and i also need that emails sent from the exchange within the same domain be sent to postfix then resent to exchange because i have spamassassin and clamav installed on centos to filter all incoming and outgoing mails ...
