 |
|
When I add this line to /etc/mail/aliases
| Code: |
mario@gbugroep.nl: mtennapel
|
I get the following error:
| Code: |
postalias: warning: /etc/mail/aliases, line 71: name must be local
|
So, somehow my mailserver thinks that the gbugroep.nl domain is not a local domain. But is is though...
gbugroep.nl is in /etc/dnsdomainname and the domain-init-script is started. I also tried to add gbugroep.nl to /etc/hosts but noting seems
to work.
When I simply add this into /etc/mail/aliases:
it does work. But I need to put a full domain after the alias.
Does someone know how I can fix this??
Thanks |

Why ?
That is only required when you run multiple virtual mail domains.
In fact, it doesn't even work without them.

But did you tell postfix that your domain is local? I'd take a look at what you've got set for mydestination in your /etc/postfix/main.cf
Here's what mine looks like:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain

And that is exactly the case! 
Soon there will be more domains added to this mailserver. |

Here is my "mydestination"
| Code: |
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, mail.$mydomain,
visserijnieuws.nl, urkerland.nl
|
The mailserver sees itself as the final_destination for gbugroep.nl, visserijnieuws.nl and urkerland.nl.
And this is the "mydomain" parameter
| Code: |
mydomain = gbugroep.nl
