From: Sam Wootton on 22 Nov 2009 11:34 Hi, I nearly have Postfix working on Opensuse 11.1. For a non system account user, it works. For example: /var/mail/vhosts/samwootton.com/bruno gets populated with incoming mail. However, when i try to do the same for a system account user, it never reaches that message store. It was going in to /var/spool/mail/useraccount but i commented out: mail_spool_directory in mail.cf. Here are the rest of my settings: *inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost* > *mydestination = $myhostname* > *virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailmaps* > *local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps* > *local_transport = virtual* > *mynetworks_style = host* > *virtual_mailbox_domains = samwootton.com* > *virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vhosts* > I have commented out 'mailbox_transport' completely. Here is my vmailmaps: sam(a)samwootton.com samwootton.com/sam Could anyone help me fix this problem? Just to clarify, i can get non system account mail being delivered, but not a system account. I'm guessing it is still using the default delivery agent for that on system account? A delivery agent that looks inside /etc/passwd and /etc/aliases files? Thanks for any help. Regards, Sam -- sam(a)samwootton.com

There are very few occasions where such a configuration makes any sense, and this is most likely not one of them. You need to read up on address classes. List local domains in mydestination. List virtual mailbox domains in virtual_mailbox_domains. List virtual alias domains in virtual_alias_domains. List relay domains in relay_domains. Unless you have a single domain that contains users in two or more of these address classes, getting the above right is all it takes. > I have commented out 'mailbox_transport' completely. That doesn't make any difference as you're not using local(8) at all. > Here is my vmailmaps: > > sam(a)samwootton.com samwootton.com/sam > > Could anyone help me fix this problem?

I have a single domain that has 2 categories of user (a unix holding account user, and a non-unix account user). I didn't think my set-up was that odd. After all, in main.cf, it states: "You need to update the local_recipient_maps setting if: > > - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than > /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files. > For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in > the $virtual_mailbox_maps files." > So i assumed that: *local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps* was ok. About address classes. I don't think i need to alter the transport.db, and therefore am unsure about where to define address classes and what the vlaue should be.

Is there any reason why? Seems logical to me. It *is* my destination, why does the type of account make a difference? I have O'Reilly postfix book - and i didnt see any mention of that. So where do i specify it? Many thanks for your advice. -- sam(a)samwootton.com |
