Hello, I am currently configuring Virtualmin on a VPS to host a few of my own websites, so far with a lot of google use everything seems to be going smoothly except for sending emails.
Most emails are sending fine from roundcube, thunderbird and the android email app except one specific email address (that I know of, I imagine there are more) which repeatedly returns the following error:
As I don’t thing my sister would want me to publicly advertise her email address I have replaced it with: ‘some@email.address’ and my own email address has been replaced with ‘my@email.address’
SMTP Error (550): Failed to add recipient “some@email.address” (5.1.1 some@email.address: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table).
Postconfig -n returns the following
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
allow_percent_hack = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

home_mailbox = Maildir/
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME

mydestination = server.valentms.com, localhost.valentms.com, valentms.com, localhost, webserver, localhost.localdomain
myhostname = server.valentms.com

smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
hostname -f returns
localhost.localdomain
The last few sections of mail.log look like this
Jan 13 01:52:32 webserver dovecot: IMAP(email.username): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=44/532

Jan 13 01:55:20 webserver postfix/smtpd[12662]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
So far this is the only email address I am having issues with, although I can send to it from my other accounts (on a cpanel server and hotmail etc…). From the email account on the virtualmin VPS I can send emails to other email addresses on the same server, ones on the cpanel server and hotmail etc…
I have spend a fair amount of time searching google and the forums attempting different solutions but as of yet none have worked for me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Jim
