Hello Ram, Thanks for your kind attention. I am really confused and frustrated. this system have been working since more than 2 yrs but suddenly the forwarding is not working. My transport is set to ````````````````````````````````````````````` virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp ``````````````````````````` But now the log reports there is no such file/directory !!!! I have then manually find the lmtp as below `````````````````````````````````` find / -name lmtp /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp ls -l /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 104816 2008-08-04 15:07 /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp srw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postfix 0 2009-06-18 12:21 /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp ````````````````````````````````````````````` So I have used /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp as transport now and the error has gone. But for non existing user I get `````````````````````````````````````````` relay=[/var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp], delay=2736, delays=2436/0.04/300/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with [/var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting) `````````````````````````````````````````````````` for existing user there is no error Here is the "postconf -n" ``````````````````````````````````````````` broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 delay_warning_time = 4h disable_vrfy_command = yes html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = localhost mydomain = domain1.com myhostname = server.domain1.com mynetworks_style = host newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES relay_domains = domain2.com, domain2.com sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = maildrop smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) (SuSe Linux) smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, permit smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unlisted_sender, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client opm.blitzed.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org, reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, permit smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_mailbox_base = /var/lib/imap virtual_mailbox_domains = domain2.com, domain2.com virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp ````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Note When I send mail from this very server the mails are forwarded according to the virtual_alias_maps. but when I do the same from another server the second server mail.info shows that the message is <sent> successfully.
