I installed the virtualmin GPL using the script and it completes. I have this one issue actually… I created virtual servers and along with email accounts. I noticed that the only way to log in to IMAP/POP3 is by supplying username together with the username of the admin. Like "rocky.admin" as the username then the password of course. Now my question is… how would I make it to "rocky" only without the admin?
I solved the problem I had posted earlier… THe one I am facing right now has this return message: user unknown in virtual alias table. Can anybody here tells me how to fix it and what the cause?
Thanks for the response… Well, I just checked it in the directory /etc/postfix/virtual but all the users that i tried to send mails existed during my troubleshooting. Until now… I couldn’t figure out what causes the problem. And I do believe it has nothing to do with DNS since I tried to do mx queries…yet I got correct responses.
Hope to hear some additional inputs as to how could I solve this. Thanks Joe.
This is the latest log I got in my var/log/mail.log after sending a message to a local user:
relay=none, delay=0.08, delays=0.07/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)
Hope that would help solving the issue. Please let me know what are the details/logs needed to find the solution for this. Thank you Joe. I appreciate it.
I’m not seeing the username in that log entry. Back up a few paces and be sure the username shown in the log is exactly as it appears in your /etc/postfix/virtual table. I can’t imagine how else you could get this error–if the user is in the table, Postfix will accept mail for it. Obviously, Virtualmin should have set this up correctly…and since it seemingly didn’t, we probably have something to fix in your configuration or somewhere else, but the problem is definitely that your virtual maps file does not have an entry for this user.
Maybe you need to regenerate the db using postmap, but that seems unlikely…Virtualmin triggers that whenever it updates the map file.
It has… I just didn’t include it… How about reinstalling the postfix? DO you think it could solve the issue? BTW, I installed virtualmin using the script for debian. Right after the installation it works… but I guess I messed something in the configuration that made it not to function…
Another concern: Mine is running 3.55 gpl and I want to upgrade it to 3.56 gpl. Ows, I can’t get the correct/simpler instructions on how to do it… I added already the repo in the sources.list but right after I do apt-get update/upgrade it didn’t upgrade the virtualmin version.
THanks Joe for the reply… Hope to have a fix on the aforementioned issues…
What’s in the virtual map file? (Rather than sanitize it, maybe you should send it to me directly at joe@virtualmin.com, and tell me what address or addresses aren’t working).
Remove myorigin from your configuration. Just take it out. If it’s configured wrong, it breaks virtual hosting. And I’ve never seen it configured correctly–so take it out and let Postfix set it for you.
