i had mailserver and mailbox server are in two different machines.
Both are having the same domain (linux.com)
In my mailserver i configured all the mails to relay to my mailbox
server.
SMTP authentication is also enabled
The problem is I configured LDAP in my mailserver to store user
information.
I created all the users in the ldap database.
So when i try to send a mail to a user exists in ldap database, where
as only mailbox
is present in the mailbox server without user, my mail is not
delivering to the recipient it
was bouncing back to the sender.When i check the log i found that
it was not checking the ldap database itself.

include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

I'm not reading all that, but are your postfix config files from the mailserver or mailbox server? I'd have thought the latter since that sounds like where your problem is, but isn't your ldap server remote from the mailbox server? If so, ldapaliases_server_host = localhost doesn't look correct. Ditto server_host = 127.0.0.1
my postfix config files is from mailserver not from mailbox server.
In my mailbox server only mailboxes are available not even user,since
users are available in ldap directory.
In my setup smtp and ldap are in one machine and mailbox is in different machine.
so when i send mail from client like outlook,it must go to mailserver for smtp authentication and look ldap for user information and mailbox location and deliver the mail to mailbox location which is in another machine.this is requirement,i have been trying this for long time.
Did i want to mention my mailbox server ip address in ldapaliases_server_host=
or
my mailserver ip where ldap is located?
plz help me with this one.
my mailbox server is running postfix.
Only postfix service will be running in mmailbox server.
In mailbox server i will create different users so automatically
mailbox will be created for particular users in /var/spool/mail/ directory.
So when i send mail from cilent such as outlook, mail will go to smtp server ie. mailserver in that i will mention my mailbox server its an openrelay,so mail will reach the destination mailbox.
By using LDAP
Now at present setup,am using ldap in my mailserver i wont create any user in mailbox server,instead i will create only the mailbox in a
particular location /var/spool/mail/saurav and user location and mailaddress(saurav@linux.com) will be in my ldap directory.
So when i send mail from client(outlook) it will go to mailserver and it must want to check the ldap directory get the recipent address and mailbox location and mail should be delivered in mailbox folder of that user.
I'm not sure where ldapaliases_server_host even comes from (I can't see it on the postfix site), but I'd bet on it being the ldap server. Use a fully qualified domain name rather than localhoast if you can
Go back to basics a bit. Kill the authentication first - you may want to add permit_mynetworks to smtpd_recipient_restrictions, and let's see what the logs say. The reason for this is it's too hard to fix postfix if you are trying to d otoo much at one time.
