postfix problem
Hello everybody, this is my first post so please bear with me.
My problem is when I recieve an email from someone the email will be delevered to me ok but the person mailing it to me will get a return message stating "This message was created automatically by mail delvery mail software. A message that you sent could not be delevered to one or more of it's recipients. This is a permanent error. The following addresses failed. mkeithm@localhost smtp error 550 mkeithm@localhost recipient address rejected user unknown at local recipient table. Can anybody help me out on this? Thanks Michael Keith |
First, welcome to LQ, mkeith.
About your question, please post the output of Code:
postfconf -n Code:
postconf alias_database |
here is my /etc/aliases file
root: mkeith

This syntax is wrong in the following two lines:
Code:
bin: roott: mkeith Anyway, your error message (quoted below) indicates that mail is directed to mkeithm, a nonexistent user: Quote:
