I'm still on a quest to set up my own local mail server. So far, I've managed to get it almost 100%... I can send and receive mail to $USER finally using DynDNS as the relay for sending and receiving.
I have a weird problem though with some of the mail aliases...
In my /etc/aliases file I have
root: clayton postmaster: root abuse: postmaster test1: clayton test2: clayton (plus more)
If I read this right, email sent to root, postmaster, abuse, test1 or test2@mydomain.com should all arrive in my inbox... emails sent from an external mail server to clayton and test1 get through, but emails sent to abuse, postmaster, test2 do not. If I send locally (using mailx for example) then the mails get through and are all received by the right user.
In all cases mails sent from an external mail server to abuse, postmaster and test2 on my domain are rejected with this error:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table (state 14).
So.. what am I missing here? Why are the aliases being ignored... and the mails being bounced? The aliases appear to be set up correctly (since I can send local mail to them and the mails are delivered to the right user)... kinda stumped on this one.
/etc/aliases are only checked for local domains in mydestination, not for relay_domains. For that you need virtual_alias_maps. The real question is why do you have a relay_domain, when the domain should be a local domain? -- Sandy List replies only please!
