Post subject:  postfix and dovecot issues
Hi all,
I re-installed dovecot along with postfix a while back following the linode library article, hoping it would solve a couple problems I'd been having. However, it didn't seem to.
Basically, I'll start with one problem first, as I can't test any other problems until this is resolved. I can't seem to send mail to any users on my system. I don't get an error mailed back for most of the domains under my control, but one in particular (mtgames.org) sends back "no such user..." whenever I send email to it, although I know it's in the table -- I've checked many times. The others just silently don't get received. I've checked using squirrel mail -- as I can't use any external clients, it's kind of hard to test -- but squirrel mail doesn't seem to be seeing anything new. Logs for two domains (mtgames.org first, then another domain that doesn't bounce):

As you can see, it looks like the second one got there, but looking in the /home/vmail directory for mtprox.org and webmaster, the latest has a timestamp of around February 26. This shows the same thing that squirrel mail showed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Michael.

Fix this. You can't use virtual delivery on a domain listed in mydestination. Most likely you want to remove the domain in question from mydestination.

Add a "-v" to the end of the virtual line in master.cf like so:
Code:
virtual   unix  -       n       n       -       -       virtual -v

Restart postfix and your logs will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about how it decided where to put that message.
