Hello, everyone,
I'm having a problem whereby I'm able to send mail to a mailbox from several different email addresses and SMTP servers (gmail, RoadRunner broadband), but I'm unable to send mail to the same address from one particular account, the SMTP server for which runs on a mediaTemple (dv) 3.0 box with CentOS 5 Final.
I've spent a full workday on the forums, trying to troubleshoot the issue, and I'm running out of ideas.
The server on which I'm having the mail processing problem is a mediaTemple (ve) running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (Linux 2.6.18-028stab070.7 #1 SMP Fri Oct 1 13:53:00 MSD 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux), with ISPConfig 3. Here's how I setup the mail-related aspects of the Ubuntu box:
Code:
apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
Code:
aptitude install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl
I basically stitched together the relevant pieces of these two tutorials (with several modifications, although most were minor and unrelated to mail); I wanted Dovecot instead of Courier, hence the second tutorial:
(from this page onward)
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4
(substituted the Dovecot-specific portions of this tutorial into the above steps)
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p3
I didn't make any changes (at least not directly; ISPConfig may have) to /etc/postfix/master.cf or /etc/postfix/main.cf. Here are the relevant parts of both files:
/etc/postfix/master.cf
Code:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe

In Webmin, I have the following under Servers. I'm new to this setup, and I don't know if Fetchmail and Sendmail are even necessary, given that Dovecot and Postfix are installed (any guidance there?). Hopefully, they're not interfering.
Apache Webserver
BIND DNS Server
Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server
Fetchmail Mail Retrieval
MySQL Database Server
Postfix Mail Server
Read User Mail
SSH Server
Sendmail Mail Server
SpamAssassin Mail Filter

Whenever I try to send mail from
me@mydomain.com to
me@myotherdomain.com (those aren't my real email addresses, obviously), the following events are logged:
/var/log/syslog
Code:
Nov 13 16:40:55 ve postfix/smtpd[11341]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from myotherdomain.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 550 5.1.1 <me@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<me@myotherdomain.com> to=<me@mydomain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<myotherdomain.com>
Nov 13 16:40:55 ve postfix/smtpd[11341]: disconnect from myotherdomain.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
/var/log/mail.log
Code:
Nov 13 16:40:55 ve postfix/smtpd[11341]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from myotherdomain.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo=
Nov 13 16:40:55 ve postfix/smtpd[11341]: disconnect from myotherdomain.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
(I don't know if the fact that from= to= and helo= are all without values in the first message is a problem or not. Thoughts?)
I have not changed the default amavis log location, although, there is no file at what I understand to be the default location, /var/log/amavis.log. I assume that amavis has yet to come into the picture at this juncture.
Here's the response that I receive from myotherdomain.com, when mydomain.com refuses the delivery:
Code:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at myotherdomain.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<me@mydomain.com>:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 <me@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Giving up on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

The mailbox setup within ISPConfig appears to be correct. I'm positive that the mailbox exists, because I'm able to send mail from it (using authentication), and the mail reaches its destination (even when sending to myotherdomain.com) and I'm able to log into the account through webmail (roundcube).
If I look at the MySQL tables that are referenced in the .cf files (within /etc/postfix/main.cf), the mailbox to which I am attempting to send mail from my other domain is indeed present.
I've tried adding myotherdomain.com to every whitelist I can find, but nothing changes. SpamAssasin is turned-off for the domain and mailbox within ISPConfig.
This doesn't seem like a DNS issue, does it? I believe that my DNS records are configured correctly:
Code:
A *.mydomain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0
A ftp.mydomain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0
A mail.mydomain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0
A www.mydomain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0
MX mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com 10
NS mydomain.com ns1.mediatemple.net 0
NS mydomain.com ns2.mediatemple.net 0
The Reverse DNS record at mediaTemple is pointed at mydomain.com, which is the automatically-assigned hostname that mediaTemple gave the Ubuntu (ve) server upon provisioning.
I have tried sending to
me@mail.mydomain.com, and I receive a failure message, too, but the reason is "Relay access denied".
Any help would be deeply appreciated. This has been frustrating me for days. Thanks for your time and assistance!
