postfix how to setup local domain users as virtual users
How can I set up local domain users as virtual users? I have setup virtual domain and the users but when I sent an email it keeps telling me "User not found". To test to see what the problem is, I sent an email to a non existent user of a virtual domain and the error was "Virtual mailbox not found". I need to find a way to be to simulate the local domain as a virtual, so it reads the users from the database? Here is the postfix configuration:
## SASL
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
smtpd_tls_ask_ccert = yes
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtp_use_tls=yes
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
smtp_tls_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
## Restrictions
message_size_limit = 30720000

password_query = SELECT username AS user, password, \
homedir AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \
from mailbox where username = '%u' and active=1
user_query = \
SELECT homedir, uid, gid \
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' and active=1
The messages do get sent to the virtual domains but they don't get sent to the local domain and I get the following warning:
postfix/trivial-rewrite[18548]: warning: do not list domain example.tld in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domain
I want all my users to be setup through mysql and the directories were created under /var/vmail/%d/%u, which only works for the virtual domains for now.
EDIT: Added details
Solution 1:
I found an answer to my own question. The problem was that the domain name was in mydestination, which made the emails sent through the domain to go through local_recipients_maps
. Removing the domain solved the problem. I don't know if that's the best practice or overriding local_recipients_maps
to use mysql is. If anyone has an answer to that please write it in the comment.
