Postfix transport


Hi!

I've just installed a new mailserver with Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot and Maia-Mailguard.
I'm also gonna use this server as a "relay" for other servers so their mail gets spam/virus checked om my server and then over to the mailserver with the accounts on it.

Code:
DNS example.com -> 192.168.0.1 (to my server, spamcheck)
DNS smtp.example.com -> 192.168.0.2 (mailserver, where the mail ends up)
Mail to example.com --> my server, get spamchecked, send to --> smtp.example.com
If you understand what I mean!?

Anyway, I put this in /etc/postfix/transport:
Code:
example.com     smtp:[smtp.example.com]
and run
Code:
postmap transport
And I get this in the log:
Code:
Feb 11 11:49:38 example.com postfix/smtpd[24775]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from blu0-omc2-s8.blu0.hotmail.com[65.55.111.83]: 550 5.1.1 <test@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<test@hotmail.com> to=<test@example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<blu0-omc2-s8.blu0.hotmail.com>
So it checks my database if the test@example.com exists, which it doesn't because its on smtp.example.com where its suppose to deliver to when its checked for spam.

So how/can I do so if the domain exists in transport-file, it doesn't check the database if the user exists and just process the mail and send it away?

My /etc/postfix/main.cf looks like this:
Code:
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
#delay_warning_time = 4h
myhostname = mail.example.com
myorigin = example.com
mydestination = localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/24
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

# Virtual mailbox settings
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:$config_directory/mysql/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_base = /usr/local/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:$config_directory/mysql/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:$config_directory/mysql/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_minimum_uid = 150
virtual_uid_maps = static:150
virtual_gid_maps = static:8
virtual_transport = virtual
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

# SASL Authentication
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = $mynetworks
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination

# Maia-Mailguard
content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
I really need help here so I appreciate any response.
Thanks!

Edit:
I might have to say that my server is a pop3/imap server too, so I already have email accounts on it but I also want so other servers can use it as a spamcheck server.

Edit 2:

It looks like Postfix thinks it is hosting mail for example.com. I would try two things:

1. Tell / Allow Postfix to relay mail for example.com by adding the following to main.cf:

Code:
relay_domains = example.com
2. Make sure there is nothing in the MySQL configuration that says your mail gateway is hosting mail for example.com. I am not sure if the MySQL config is part of the mail scanning software you installed, but if it is not needed, it might be best to just remove it.

The part of the error that reads "User unknown in virtual mailbox table" makes me believe that there is something in those tables.

Hope that helps.

I tried adding:
Code:
relay_domains = example.com
but it didn't help, I still get the same message.
So I looked around little in the postfix documentation and found:

Quote:
virtual_transport (default: virtual)
The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for final delivery to domains listed with $virtual_mailbox_domains. This information can be overruled with the transport(5) table.

Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf. The :nexthop destination is optional; its syntax is documented in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
So why doesn't the option in the transport-file overrule the settings to look in the database for the user?
Do I have to do some more configuration?

I edited my first post and added my master.cf -file too.

And one more thing. It would be awesome if I could fix so I can save the transport settings in my mysql database instead of in a file, because I am planing on expanding with one more mailserver so they are gonna use the same database information about users and stuff.

Somone at the postfix mailing list told me that I had mis-configured the virtual_mailbox_maps though I have no idea what I might have mis-configured..
I added the mysql-config for virtual_mailbox_maps in my first post.

Hello,

For troubleshooting purposes, maybe try commenting out your virtual mailbox information and see if you get the same error.

Next, try creating a local user with the same name as one of the email addresses you are trying to send through the gateway -- does it get delivered? If so, then it is still an issue with your mail gateway thinking that it hosts mail for that domain.
