My personal server is happily managing virtual mail domains without any trouble, but I'm now trying to troubleshoot a work server that is being a little more stubborn. It has one primary domain (booyahmedia) and two virtual domains (teamsites.com and virtualvow.com).
I've set up a local test account on the server called "testaccount." Mail is delivered just fine to that account on the primary domain: Oct 22 10:02:37 booyahmedia postfix/smtpd[10240]: connect from mail-yx0-f171.google.com[209.85.213.171] Oct 22 10:02:43 booyahmedia postfix/smtpd[10240]: 3574630437: client=mail-yx0-f171.google.com[209.85.213.171] Oct 22 10:02:43 booyahmedia postfix/cleanup[10256]: 3574630437: message-id=<aanlktiksotckamwhbtdkxg+otf6cu3xoicldi15ok...@mail.gmail.com> Oct 22 10:02:43 booyahmedia postfix/qmgr[8636]: 3574630437: from=<testsen...@gmail.com>, size=1639, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 22 10:02:43 booyahmedia postfix/local[10257]: 3574630437: to=<testacco...@booyahmedia.com>, relay=local, delay=5.8, delays=5.8/0.02/0/0.04, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Oct 22 10:02:43 booyahmedia postfix/qmgr[8636]: 3574630437: removed Next, I set up a test virtual alias on each of the virtual domains. The /etc/postfix/virtual file is: teamsites.com #Team Sites testing...@teamsites.com testaccount virtualvow.com #Virtual Vow testing...@virtualvow.com testaccount If I send a test email from Gmail to an address on either of the virtual domains, I get some strange entries in the log: Oct 22 10:04:32 booyahmedia postfix/smtpd[10507]: connect from mail-yw0-f43.google.com[209.85.213.43] Oct 22 10:04:32 booyahmedia postfix/trivial-rewrite[10510]: warning: do not list domain teamsites.com in BOTH virtual_alias_domains and relay_domains Oct 22 10:04:38 booyahmedia postfix/smtpd[10507]: C320B3041C: client=mail-yw0-f43.google.com[209.85.213.43] Oct 22 10:04:38 booyahmedia postfix/cleanup[10524]: C320B3041C: message-id=<aanlktikkl_uzq-r0t5gqjc32m_yxbazy+39_nuq1r...@mail.gmail.com> Oct 22 10:04:38 booyahmedia postfix/qmgr[10468]: C320B3041C: from=<testsen...@gmail.com>, size=1631, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 22 10:05:08 booyahmedia postfix/smtp[10525]: connect to com.com[216.239.113.101]: Connection timed out (port 25) Oct 22 10:05:09 booyahmedia postfix/smtpd[10507]: disconnect from mail-yw0-f43.google.com[209.85.213.43] Oct 22 10:05:38 booyahmedia postfix/smtp[10525]: connect to com.com[216.239.122.102]: Connection timed out (port 25) Oct 22 10:05:38 booyahmedia postfix/smtp[10525]: C320B3041C: to=<testacco...@com.com>, orig_to=<testing...@teamsites.com>, relay=none, delay=66, delays=6.1/0.02/60/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to com.com[216.239.122.102]: Connection timed out) First, I'm trying to figure out why it's giving me that trivial-rewrite warning because teamsites.com appears only in virtual_alias_domains in main.cf. The only references I can find with Google seem to address subdomains of the primary domain, but that's not the case here. Second, it seems that Postfix thinks that the local hostname or domain is "com.com" instead of "booyahmedia.com" because it's trying to deliver the message to testacco...@com.com instead of testacco...@booyahmedia.com. That one's really got me scratching my head. I can fudge it so that messages will get delivered to the local "testaccount" account by editing /etc/postfix/virtual to read: teamsites.com #Team Sites testing...@teamsites.com testacco...@booyahmedia.com That at least delivers mail sent to the virtual alias to the proper local account, but I still get the "do not list teamsites.com in BOTH." warning in the log. In any case, I don't want to fudge it anyway - I'd rather it work correctly. I've checked through all the network settings I can think of (/etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf) to see why Postfix might be thinking that com.com is the localhost, Here are some outputs from the shell to help give some context and aid troubleshooting: # postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 disable_vrfy_command = yes html_directory = no mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, permit smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname, warn_if_reject reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, warn_if_reject reject_invalid_helo_hostname, warn_if_reject reject_unknown_helo_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access, check_client_access pcre:/etc/postfix/fqrdns.pcre, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client psbl.surriel.com, reject_rhsbl_client dbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rhsbl_sender dbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rhsbl_helo dbl.spamhaus.org, permit smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = virtualvow.com, teamsites.com virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual # hostname booyahmedia.com # postconf | grep relay_domains fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains parent_domain_matches_subdomains = debug_peer_list,fast_flush_domains,mynetworks,permit_mx_backup_networks,qmqp d_authorized_clients,relay_domains,smtpd_access_maps proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks relay_domains = $mydestination relay_domains_reject_code = 554 # postconf | grep virtual_alias_domains proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks virtual_alias_domains = virtualvow.com, teamsites.com Any ideas?
