interesting email issue

[viperiii]

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.

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?)

[viperiii]

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...

[rbtux]

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...

[viperiii]

which logs should i post?

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

[joximu]

how about /var/log/mail*

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

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...

seems you were dead on...

how do I correct?

[joximu]

/etc/postfix/main.cf

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

[viperiii]

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

[joximu]

eg http://www.isp-control.net/forum/solved-...-1919.html

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