Problem with Postfix/Cyrus-imap setup
in [Postfix]
|
From: Gijs on 10 Mar 2010 08:10 Hello List, I'm trying to get postfix work properly with Cyrus-imap but I've yet to get everything completely working. My server hosts several domains and uses Cyrus to deliver its email to the correct users. In my setup I've configured a catch-all address and several other virtual addresses. Now postfix seems to skip over the virtual addresses and goes straight to the catch-all address when I try to send something to the domain. However, it only does this for the domains that are not the default domain. The default domain with catch-all works as it should. I don't completely understand how postfix actually knows how mailboxes are reachable through cyrus so I might have configured something completely wrong but reading all the howto's online I ended up with the following configs: postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydomain = ltb.nu myhostname = mail.mydomain.com myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/tls/certs/postfix.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = $smtpd_tls_cert_file smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_mailbox_domains = mydomain.com myotherdomain.com virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp /etc/postfix/virtual: test(a)mydomain.com someuser @mydomain.com catchalluser info(a)myotherdomain.com someotheruser(a)myotherdomain.com @myotherdomain.com catchalluser(a)myotherdomain.com The mail to test(a)mydomain.com works as it should, but the mail to info(a)myotherdomain.com always ends up in catchalluser(a)myotherdomain.com. If I comment the catchall line for @myotherdomain.com, then it does get delivered to the correct address. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Regards, Gijs PS: The postfix version is 2.3.3, Cyrus-imapd version is 2.3.7

Did you try Postfix example configuration for virtual mailboxes? http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox I think you're supposed to use $virtual_mailbox_maps rather than $virtual_alias_maps for virtual mailboxes.

As far as I know virtual_mailbox is used when postfix delivers the emails to the accounts itself, but I'm using Cyrus to do that. So the use of virtual_alias should be correct in my setup. Unless I'm not understanding the example right :) Regards, Gijs

Search the documentation and list archives for the phrase "identity mapping" virtual expansion is recursive. Also catch-all addresses are a really bad idea. You should encourage your users to "un-request" this feature. -- Viktor. P.S.

Unless I'm not > understanding the example right :) Then why are you using virtual_mailbox_domains = mydomain.com myotherdomain.com When in reality you should be using virtual_ALIAS_domains? Wietse |
