Reject non-existent users in Postfix with Maildrop

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I use Postfix with virtual mailbox and Maildrop for the transport agent. All my emails are delivered to the folder /home/vmail/domain.tld/user/. Today I noticed that emails sent to non-existent addresses are delivered to the file /home/vmail/domain.tld/user. I would rather have them rejected by the server with an error message to the sender. I think it is responsible to the /etc/postfix/maildroprc file that contains the rules DEFAULT="/home/vmail/$1/$2" The file /etc/postfix/main.cfg virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_alias_maps = ha (HowTos)

I'm tring to correctly setup a postfix server for our products for a couple of days.

I have fully functional mail server which uses maildrop as a delivery agent. Now i need to implement quota for each mailbox. I've found some articles which describes quota configuration with patch to postfix - but i found some posts that patched postfix quota functionality works only when virtual delivery agent is used.

I have small mail server at home that I'm already using to provide a mailing list for some friends. I recently decided that I want to give them their own mailbox as well, so I decided to setup postfix with virtual users/mailboxes.

Postfix drives me crazy 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi all, I upgraded my home server from openSUSE 10.3 to 11.2. From that day, postfix rejects every email I try to receive by using fetchmail.

The main.cf file was unchanged after the upgrade, postfix starts correctly, but it does not accepts emails!

The errors I receive are:

Here's the situation:

I have a domain, let's say domain.com. That domain has Google Apps for Business enabled, so all mail delivered to @domain.com will end up at Google (MX records point to Google).

I have a PHP script at domain.com that I use to send mail to myself.

We are using postfix for email group lists (eg "members@domain.com" will go to all members) from Amazon EC2 systems. For a variety of reasons (scalability and reliability) we would like to use SES for all outgoing emails.

I was able to configure postfix to use SES as the SMTP for outgoing emails. This works fine for all verified emails.
