Postfix Error: Address not found in virtual alias table
 
Hi there

I setup a virtual server with these configurations:
1. Mail server: POSTFIX / DOVECOT
2. Webmin / Virtualmin

I am getting email to desired folders locally but I am not getting email from outside to desired users. Emails are bounced back with message "Address not found in virtual alias table".

Recent log errors are:

I haven't read your config - it's the wrong file.
postfix also needs a table of users and aliases, i.e. other names by which you call some users. Mail won't go to root, so root@ must be an alias to some luser.

Postfix has little utilities to make a database from /etc/postfix/aliases to /etc/postfix/aliases.db but it's been a long time. You write the aliases, then run the utility and it writes aliases.db.

Try and fix those 2 errors, and the rest will probably go away.

aliases file and aliases.db files are present in the /etc/ folder. What other config file are you talking about?

There are several spam emails come to the server and the maillog you mentioned is one of them. I dont know about the server address from which the mail is coming from. My domain is an old domain no longer in use from several months.

if you look at the main.cf file, myhostname and domain are a bit different. Is this the cause of the problem or somewhere else?

I picked up the reason for error. The SPF policy isnt working properly, I removed it and postfix works ok. However, forwarding emails isnt working.

This is the error I am getting:

Warning - any rules defined below will not be used : Procmail is not enabled in your Postfix configuration. The configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf must have the mailbox_command option set to /usr/bin/procmail.
