Hi,
I need some help to solve a configuration issue on postfix-2.10.x.
The context:
I am migration from postfix-2.9.x to postfix-2.10.x while preserving
configuration files.
On our configuration, we are using the "transport_maps" parameter to get
one information in our Ldap server: the targeted "mailHost" for the
recipient of the mail.
The mail server is delivering mail localy if the recipient account is
hosted localy , but forward the mail to another mail server if not.
On the postfix-2.9.x all work fine
The problem:
On the postfix-2.10.X mail server , the server does not deliver localy
the mail for the localy hosted recipient accounts but try to resend the
mail to the "mailHost" (taken from Ldap).
So postfix-2.10.x detect a loop and drop the message.
The message in aillog looks like: postfix/bounce: bounce_append_proto:
............. act=failed why=mail for my-server.mydomain.fr loops back
to myself
What I tested:
a) I have removed the "transport_maps" parameter fom the "main.cf"
configuration file , and restart the postfix server:
* so the mail delivery for the local account works fine
b) I try with a custom 'tranport_maps" parameter like this:
* transport_map = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
with the "transport" file like this:
my-domain.fr :
.my-domain.fr :
* : another-mail-server.fr
then "postmap transport" to generate the .db file.
* result : the mail delivery for the local account works fine
c) ) I try to add an entry on the original "transport_maps" we need on
our configuration:
* transport_map =
ldap:/etc/postfix/my-conf-file1,ldap:/etc/postfix/my-conf-file2,hash:/etc/postfix/transport
with the "transport" file like this:
my-domain.fr :
.my-domain.fr :
* : another-mail-server.fr
then "postmap transport" to generate the .db file.
* result: the postfix server start but with an error and it does not
work at all
o and listening is closed on port 25
Do you have any advice to correct this problem ?
Bests regards.
