Hi all, I am the other person that Jon is referring to. I'm now convinced that this is a Mandrake-only bug. Perhaps an "error" at compile time. This only happens on virtual hosts, but mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is bounced (actually a 554 reject: will not relay). Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered. This occurs whether /etc/postfix/vitual contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you run virtual domains, please test it yourself (easy test: /usr/sbin/postmap -q [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/postfix/virtual which should comeback to you with the mapped real address. Check it with the lowercase domain too.). I'm a subscriber on the postfix-users list (every thing you ever wanted to know about smtp and much much more!) and the only people that seem to have this problem are running Mandrake (I asked). This evening I see another post on this problem on postfix-users, unrelated to mine, who says at the end that they are running postfix-19991231-5mdk. I also run postfix on my 486 redhat 6.2 box which does The Right Thing and delivers mail for either upper or lowercase domain names. At this point, I'll probably recompile postfix from source, but I figured that people who run postfix for virtual hosts ought to at least check to see if their servers have this problem. PS. I've been very happy with Mandrake as a distro (and I currently use RH and Slackware too). I'll happily eat my words if I'm wrong. -Chuck Burkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 3 May 00, at 13:31, Jon wrote: > I and at least one other person are having this same problem: > > Let's say I have a virtual domain, called "fakefoo.com". > > To host this virtually using the Postfix RPM included with Mandrake > 7.0: > > Name : postfix Relocations: (not > relocateable) Version : 19991231 Vendor: > MandrakeSoft > > I point the MX record for "fakefoo.com" to the machine running > Postfix, and create a file called /etc/postfix/virtual (as defined in > /etc/postfix/main.cf) and it looks something like this: > > fakefoo.com this domain is virtually hosted > [EMAIL PROTECTED] user > [EMAIL PROTECTED] user2 > @fakefoo.com fakefoopostmaster > > This works just great.
