interesting email issue - viperiii - 03-09-2008 03:39 PM

created an email user "viper_iii@allkinds.ods.org"

The email exists and I am able to use webmail and send mail from the account but replying to the email the server says

Quote:This is the mail system at host allkinds.ods.org.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

The mail system

<viper_iii@allkinds.ods.org>: unknown user: "viper_iii"



Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "viper_iii"

it seems that postfix has an issue with "_" (the underscore)

anyone else confirm this and ideas on how to make postfix happy about this? (fix?)

Seems to be because I installed maiamailguard... that might be the issue...

I created another account and it worked no problem... just this one isn't playing nice...


RE: interesting email issue - rbtux - 03-09-2008 09:58 PM

allkinds.ods.org is a local domain for your postfix installation as it seems...

correct that (mydestination / mydomain)...

You should post some logs.
I think there is a warning like:
"do not list domain allkinds.ods.org in BOTH mydestination and virtual_alias_domains"
in your mail.info...


RE: interesting email issue - viperiii - 03-10-2008 04:16 AM

which logs should i post?

not being an expert where would I find the correct logs...


RE: interesting email issue - joximu - 03-10-2008 04:29 AM

how about /var/log/mail*

but not everything - have a look at them and we all hope you see what's important.


RE: interesting email issue - viperiii - 03-10-2008 05:09 AM

Going on what was just stated a few posts above... about the default domain name...

its odd because the mail account bwc@allkinds.ods.org works fine....

just the email with the "_" on that particular domain... i did a r_t@tokeokies.com and that domain had no issues with anything and mail passed fine....

try to use this mail MTA and move away from my test scalix box...

how do I correct?

/etc/postfix/main.cf

have a look in other threads in the forum...


RE: interesting email issue - viperiii - 03-10-2008 07:11 AM

not quite sure what to search... now I feel like a moron...


RE: interesting email issue - joximu - 03-10-2008 07:49 AM

eg http://www.isp-control.net/forum/solved-postfix-could-not-receive-mails-t-1919.html

search for "do not list domain" - it's not a big deal :-)
