With the @domain part you have allowed that user to remotely connect to you database if the connection comes from a host with a hostname of domain.com (unless mariadb only listens on localhost for DB connections). Please use REVOKE to delete this user. To add a new entry to the accounts or alias table, use INSERT INTO mailserver.alias VALUES ... according to the DB layout. Since you are using postfixadmin, why are you not using the Web UI to add a new mailbox? > > > but if adding with postfixadmin any alias, this will bounce, with following > error > postfix/lmtp[102470]: 3E101208A1: to= <mailto:mar...@domain.com> > mar...@domain.com, relay=mail.domain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], markus is not a mail user, as explained above. However, you just said that adding *any* alias you cannot receive email. Have you added the other aliases with the same way as above or have you actually used the postfixadmin web ui to add those aliases. If you have used the web ui, how does you main.cf look like? Simply adding > virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp to the main.cf tells postfix to deliver mail to dovecot, but it neither tells postfix nor dovecot to connect to the database to look up if a user exists or not. Since you are talking about aliases, you need to tell postfix a way to query the database to get the target email addresses to actually send the email to, and dovecot needs to know if a target user exists in order to accept email. If you send the (relevant) contents of main.cf to the list someone might be able to point out a configuration error. For the correct config of dovecot please see the dovecot documentation or ask for help on a dovecot mailing list.
