Hi all,
hopefully not too off-topic, but I could imagine that some getmail users have had this situation before and might
remember their solution:
I'm using (and loving :-)) getmail for syncing my email accounts at commercial ISPs (like the sender address of this
email, [email protected], a yahoo account) to my own VPS, with dovecot and postfix on it.
The getmail part itself works fine and stable, but I recognized an ugly self-made side effect today, for the first time:
Let's say my VPS' domain is EXAMPLE.COM, one of my private email addresses might be [email protected].
To get my postfix server to accept both "direct" emails (for [email protected]) and "getmail-ed" emails (for
[email protected]), I've currently added "rocketmail.com" as (postfix) "virtual domain". As said, works fine for
receiving "getmail-ed" mails.
BUT, today I wanted via Thunderbird to send an email from sender [email protected] to [email protected].
And Thunderbird immediately shows me the postfix error msg "5.1.1 / Recipient address rejected. User unknown in virtual
mailbox table". So currently my postfix server, listening secured for relaying my emails, "remembers" that he's also
listening unsecured (on port 25) to receive emails for "virtual domain" rocketmail.com.
Any hints how to tell postfix that he shouldn't try to catch all emails for a virtual domain, but only the ones for
existing (getmail) virtual users?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
