Postfix stopped working after I was messing with stuff and it now tries to send mail using the machine hostname instead of the domain for each virtual server as it once did. I also receive a “550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table” when trying to send to a user.
Can you be more specific about what ‘stuff’?
It was quite a while ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled PostFix using command line and now it’s simply not working. It wasn’t letting me send over port 25 so I had it configured to 587 through mail jet. I think when my IP changed through my ISP, it messed with something.

I’m also seeing this when I run “Validate Virtual Servers”. For each domain it says
“Mail for domain : The mail server is not configured to receive email for <domain.com>”
I know dpkg will not configure the same which may have been what happened when you reinstalled.
Check your postfix for this line. This is how it looks when VM configures it:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME
Sounds like you deleted your virtual map file or caused it to no longer be used.
Yes, that is in there.
I think this may be the case… Is there an easy way to recreate that?
I think you should have a virtual.db as well a virtual file, is that there?
Yes, I see both in /etc/postfix. virtual file is empty and I don’t know how to view virtual.db. I installed a DB Browser on another machine and downloaded the file but it said it cannot read it because its not a database file.
Thats not good. .db is built from the virtual file so it should be close to 0 bytes. Probably not a standard .db file. Do you have backups?
I do have backups but not from as long ago as it was working… I do have backups of all of my sites though so I theoretically could reinstall everything and restore domains from backups?
The virtual file is basically all you need hopefully. Not restore all files for at present. Also I would be worried the HDD may have corruption. Having a empty virtual file is very unusual.
Hmm okay. How would i recreate that file? I think it may have been removed/emptied when I was uninstalling stuff to initially troubleshoot a while ago.
I use vultr where I can create servers pretty quicky. Install virtualmin and restore virtualmin backups. From the server get the files you want. So you need a “development machine” you can grab the restore files from.
Okay I updated my virtual file to exactly what was created. It is still showing the same issues.
I ran these two commands and received no output (good thing I believe?).
$ sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
$ sudo service postfix reload
I believe its all working now. I added a couple test users and they were automatically added to the virtual file. i went ahead and recreated users and it worked! thank you all for your help.
Don’t make things worse!
