Post subject:  Setting up aliases and testing in Postfix
I am running Ubuntu 12.04, Postfix, Dovecot.

Everything set up as it should be I think, I have aliases in /etc/aliases and run newaliases:

mailer-daemon: postmaster
postmaster: root
info: mailuser

When I send a test email using mailx to an info@mydomain.com, it goes into a separate mailbox instead of being forwarded into mailuser's box:
Code:
mailx info@mycomain.com


However, when I send a test email without the domain, it forwards as it should:
Code:
mailx info


Is this a peculuarity of mailx? I have not yet transferred the domain over, I'm trying to make sure email is set up correctly.

What should be in /etc/mailname? foo.mydomain.com or mydomain.com? Right now I have mydomain.com and it seems to be working other than aliases.

My /etc/postfix/main.cf:

Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version


# Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

myhostname = foo.mydomain.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = foo.mydomain.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain
relayhost = 
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html
message_size_limit = 30720000
virtual_alias_domains = 
# virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination
# virtual_create_maildirsize = yes
# virtual_maildir_extended = yes
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_mailbox_limit_maps
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth


Once all this is set up, what do I need to set up as far as the email client? Usual ports (110/25), and mail.mydomain.com or pop.mydomain.com/smtp.mydomain.com? I have no way to test this unless live, and I want to get it working before transferring the domain.

It's not mailx. Since you're using virtual domains/mailboxes, that's what Postfix is referring to when delivering mail to whatever@mydomain.com.

Post subject:  Re: Setting up aliases and testing in Postfix
In other words, /etc/aliases only applies to domains listed in mydestination. Since the domain set as myhostname is listed in mydestination, that's where it's ending up.

Post subject:  Re: Setting up aliases and testing in Postfix
I don't have any other domains on the Linode (or rather, it will only have the one domain I have not yet transferred). So it sounds like it should be honoring /etc/aliases, but it isn't. Should I also have mydomain.com listed in mydestination like this?

mydestination = foo.mydomain.com, mydomain.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain

What does /var/log/maillog say? It should mention how/why it is routing the message.

There were no errors generated:

Feb 20 20:53:04 foo postfix/qmgr[6804]: C866017A6E: removed

The mail sent to sales did not get aliases, postfix created a mailbox for it.

Maybe a better question would be this:

What is the most basic setup with Postfix (i.e. main.cf configurations) for a Linode with only one domain pointed to it, only one mailbox and several aliases at that single domain pointed to that one mailbox - so maybe mysql is required?

I would prefer a non-mysql setup, using files instead of mysql tables for the "maps", but I plan on using SpamAssassin and SquirrelMail or something similar once I have this working.

I believe I have found the definitive installation guide:
"Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)"

http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users ... -12.04-lts

I have followed all the way up to (but not yet) installing SquirrelMail, and testing aliases with mailx works! Every single command presented in 5 pages works without errors, simple amazing. Kudos to the author!

Thanks to the above posters for all your help!

Spoke too soon.... after rebooting I cannot get Dovecot to start back up, and I'm getting all sorts of errors. I captured the mail.log just after a reboot:

The interesting bit is the last two lines - 23:29:47 followed by 23:29:05. I read that there is a backwards time bug in Dovecot but don't know if it's related.

This system worked fine (except for SquirrelMail, which had a broken IMAP connection when I tried to login. But running mailx form the shell did exactly what I wanted it to do.

This is extremely frustrating.

Your Dovecot error seems to be:

Code:
Feb 22 23:29:37 foo dovecot: master: Fatal: service(pop3) access(/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3) failed: No such file or directory


Somewhere, in Dovecot's configuration, it's referring to a file that doesn't exist.

Post subject:  Re: Setting up aliases and testing in Postfix
I must have had Dovecot on the brain... it was left over from an earlier install, and I somehow thought it was needed when ti was not. The installation guide I linked to in my above post uses Courier, not Dovecot. I uninstalled everything mail-related and went through the process again. It works!
