email aliases for virtual domains
« on: October 04, 2004, 08:26:02 AM »
Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me.

I am trying to setup some email aliases for several virtual domains created on my server (6.0.1-01).

Basically we have 4 domains defied on the server eg:

domain1.com.au
domain2.com.au
domain3.com.au
domain4.com.au

I want to be able to specify that an email sent to info@domain1.com.au will be sent to one user account (eg. Phil) whereas an email sent to info@domain2.com.au will go to a different user account (eg. Barry).

I have searched the site and found a document:
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/howto/virtual%20domain%20email%20aliases%20HOWTO%20for%20sme%20server.htm

However i cant seem to get it to work, whenever i send an email to info@domain1.com.au i get the following error coming back:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at motors.net.au.
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.

<info@domain1.com.au>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)


Any suggestions?

Do you have another contrib installed to block unknown addresses eg mailrules or mailblocking rpms ?.
If so add the domain username as a user account, pseudonym or group so that mailblocking will allow that address to be accepted by your system.
