Hey folks,
I'm trying (for the first time) to add two virtual domains for publishing to my long-time-stable postfix-3.8.2 installation.

[...]
If I:
babylon5:alaric:~:1 $ echo test | mutt sean.fen...@seanfenian.com

I get:
Nov 9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/pickup[1545]: 4B6BA1145E89B: uid=1000 from=<alaric> Nov 9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/cleanup[3227]: 4B6BA1145E89B: message-id=<zu1fbticy4rmr...@babylon5.caerllewys.net> Nov 9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/qmgr[4905]: 4B6BA1145E89B: from=<ala...@caerllewys.net>, size=742, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/smtp[3231]: Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.caerllewys.net[10.24.32.15]:25: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256/256 bits) key-exchange X25519 server-signature RSA-PSS (4096 bits) server-digest SHA256 Nov 9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/smtp[3231]: 4B6BA1145E89B: to=<sean.fen...@seanfenian.com>, relay=smtp.caerllewys.net[10.24.32.15]:25, delay=0.28, delays=0.02/0/0.06/0.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 6256522656D01)
Nov  9 17:36:54 babylon5 postfix/qmgr[4905]: 4B6BA1145E89B: removed

OK. So the Postfix SMTP *client* on the babylon5 machine successfully passed a message to smtp.caerllewys.net. Mutt and the Postfix client on babylon5 work. The Postfix SMTP *server* on smtp.caerllewys.net helpfully included in its 250 reply that its queue ID for that message is 6256522656D01.

But no mailbox is created and the test message never appears anywhere.

For that, look into the logs from smtp.caerllewys.net, which do not seem to appear above. Search for queue ID 6256522656D01.


What probably-should-be-obvious thing am I missing?

Do I need to manually create /var/spool/mail/fenianhouse.com/ ?
Do I need to manually create /var/spool/mail/fenianhouse.com/seanfenian/ ?

I believe so. When I've used virtual mailboxes I have done so (actually via a script, so: semi-manually) but I don't know if it is actually necessary.

Again: logs from smtp.caerllewys.net are where you need to look. Search for queue ID 6256522656D01.

Something else I've missed?

Looking at the wrong log? Filtering out the relevant lines?
