Hello All,
For some reason, I want to set two mail servers on one machine. One of
them is Postfix. The setup is such that Postfix should receive mails at
port 4567 and should send mails corresponding to domain "kmail4u.com
<http://kmail4u.com>" to port 25 of the same machine where other mail
server(coded by me) is waiting for incoming mails.
I have installed and configured bind9 which properly associates domain
kmail4u.com <http://kmail4u.com> with the IP address of the machine. And
postfix listens to port 4567.
But, when I send a mail to port 4567 addressed to x...@kmail4u.com
<mailto:x...@kmail4u.com>, I get a delivery failure with message "mail
for kmail4u.com <http://kmail4u.com/> loops back to myself"
Please don't post in html. On gmail, press the [Plain Text]
button when composing.
This is a part of main.cf <http://main.cf> file which tries to set this
domain as virtual mailbox domain.
relay_domains = $mydomain gmail.com <http://gmail.com> yahoo.co.in
<http://yahoo.co.in>
Why in the world would you list gmail and yahoo as relay
domains??? That makes you an open relay to any address at
those domains.
Don't do that.

http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html
virtual_transport = smtp:kmail4u.com:25 <http://kmail4u.com:25>
virtual_mailbox_domains = kmail4u.com <http://kmail4u.com>
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox
And /etc/postfix/vmailbox contains,
@kmail4u.com <http://kmail4u.com> XXXX
Can anybody suggest how I can achieve this set up?
The "loops back to myself" message is caused when postfix is
greeted with its own hostname. One instance needs a different
hostname.
I fear the gun is pointing at your foot... Before pulling the
trigger maybe you should describe your project in more detail.
Thanks,
Mayuresh
