Mailman + Postfix - User unknown

Hi all, I'm having some trouble installing mailman (who doesn't?) right now.
I tried everything. I followed EXACTLY what is said on our wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mailman) but still it's not working.
Actually the only thing that is not working is 'sending an email to the mailing list'. And this is quite important for a mailing list, I guess.
After spending hours trying, here is my current status:
I created a mailing list called pynochio, with [email protected] as the mailing list address.
Postfix reads my /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman file and applies the mapping. I'm sure about that because I changed the content of virtual-mailman (and then hashed it using postmap command) and the email postfix was trying to authenticate changed. (so there is no permission issue from this side)
But then postfix concludes that the user doesn't exist. Here are fresh logs from journalctl, just for you:
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/qmgr[26527]: 128382077C: from=<[email protected]>, size=1775, nrcpt=2 (queue active)
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/trivial-rewrite[26562]: warning: do not list domain too.gy in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/trivial-rewrite[26562]: warning: do not list domain too.gy in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/virtual[26567]: 128382077C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=0.74, delays=0.65/0.03/0/0.07, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "[email protected]")
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/virtual[26567]: 128382077C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=0.78, delays=0.65/0.03/0/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir)
This warning appears because in the tutorial we are said to put `too.gy` (our domain) in mydestination and because in my postfix database inside the `domain` table, `too.gy` is said to be virtual (transport=virtual). I don't know if it should be that way.
My problem is that I don't really know how postfix and mailman are supposed to communicate. Postfix is supposed to let mailman handle things since [email protected] is a list address but it doesn't.
I read some tutorials (on other distribs) and they are using lists.too.gy domain for their lists address (it seems easier) but it looks like there's a better way to do it and in the archlinux mailman documentation, we are not using such subdomain for our lists. So I want to do it the right, archlinux way.
There is `postfix_to_mailman.py` transport script thing but I read it's a bad practice...
Here is the output of `postconf -n` (which respects the mailman tutorial, once again):

Yes, all email properly addressed should be delivered to you without problems.
The line only affects improperly addressed email, in this case allowing them to be accepted instead of rejected.
Since you are running Spamassassin and an IMAP server, I suggest also using the line
luser=[email protected]
which will send all improperly addressed mail to the address specified by "[email protected]". This is what I meant by "catch-all" address.
If you find postfix giving you problems after adding the lines, simply delete them or comment them out by adding a hash mark to the front of the line, e.g.
#localrecipientmaps =
Alternatively, you can simply make no changes and allow the log messages to accumulate. The messages mean that postfix is doing its job by rejecting email addressed to users that don't exist. The above steps allow you to receive mail addressed to [email protected], where "anything" is any string allowed in an email address.
I assume you're testing your changes using a separate email account, but in case you're not: sign up for a free email account with any of a number of free email services (Gmail, Yahoo) and test your postfix install as you make changes using the free account.

Fetchmail, Postfix user unknown in local recipient table

Hello all --
My fetchmail job has been failing to get mail to my mailbox with this error:
SMTP error: 450 4.1.1 <username@localhost>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
(I replace my actual user name with "username")
The problem goes away temporarily if I stop and restart postfix, but it comes back almost immediately.
I'm having a hard time finding any clues in postfix's log. I'm not too sure what to look for, and it's pretty voluminous!
Any suggestions?

Gnu mailman Postfix Problem

I have a working configuration of Postfix, MySQL using virtual domains. I want to set up mailman. I have created a new domain called lists.wilkesley.org for the purpose, that will only handle mailman emails. I have installed mailman, but am having trouble getting postfix to deliver mail to mailman lists. The Postfix error is::
an 24 13:20:33 wilkesley postfix/smtpd[24049]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ww0-f51.google.com[74.125.82.51]: 450 4.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ww0-f51.google.com>

They're called code tags
I can't help with the problem directly, but those who can will probably be more inclined to do so if you include file contents of command output in [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags to keep it clean and readable.

Mailman / Postfix aliases problem?

Hello, all!
I've got mailman running, finally, after many hours of fighting with it. It is now to the point where it will accept new subscribers through the listinfo page, send them their confirmation, and accept a confirmation action by the user on the html page to do so. The list currently only has 2 members - the moderator and one test email account. The server is hosting many virtual domains. The list in question is in one; it is currently the only virt-domain that is using a mailman list.
However...
Attempts to send from the moderator to the list result in the following:
<[email protected]>: host
/var/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown.
Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have
authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
OK, so it seems to me that Postfix is not correctly figuring out that the listname is not a hosted mailbox, but is indeed a list name, and thus never bothers to send it off to mailman. I'm guessing this means I'm missing 1 little thing or other in postfix's main.cf but I can't figure out what. Help?
here is my main.cf:
smtpdtls_keyfile =
myhostname = my.fqdnname.com
mailbox_transport = cyrus
enableserveroptions = yes
mydomain = sysop.com
messagesizelimit = 104857600

Any help would be appreciated. I've Googled my eyes out and keep not finding what I need.

Correct.

Correct. My domain in question is ryla9810.org which has one alias that forwards to my gmail account (phil@), and I need one mail list with a dozen members (team@). The forward works, but the maillist is causing me grief
Thanks for all your input so far

User unknown in local recipient table

Mavericks mail server "user unknown" error

For some reason, the mail server bounces the email sent to local network users and returns a "user unknown" error. The same error is received when an email from an external domain is sent to one of the open directory associated email addresses.
However, sending email from these accounts works just fine, just like sending and receiving email associated with the diradmin account.

Hi Jeffrey,
Changed the mx record to the juffrou......net domain, without succes.
Please find the export below.

Lex

Postifx user unknown in local recipient table

Good morning --
My fetchmail job has been failing to get mail to my mailbox with this error (presumably from Postfix):
SMTP error: 450 4.1.1 <username@localhost>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
(I replaced the actual user name with "username")
I'm not sure what to make of this. "username" definitely exists -- I just su'd into his account and ran the fetchmail job that gave me the error.
The problem goes away if I stop and restart postfix, but it seems to come back pretty consistently (I haven't had a chance to figure out the precise timing).
Any suggesitons?

Thanks, Mihalis.
I do not us su -l -- just plain old su. And echo $USER returns the correct user (that is, the one I su'd into).
I don't think the problem is fetchmail. It's the same result whether I run it from the prompt ("fetchmail -v") or from the user's cron.
The problem resolves temporarily if I restart postfix, but it returns within a few cycles (the cron job runs every three minutes.
The error message repeats itself for each mail item that fetchmail parses. Here's the last bit of a fetchmail's results:

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table

Running GW 7.0.3 on NW 6.5.6. Can anyone tell me if this is my problem or if it is the recipients system. Other email to the same domain goes through.
Thanks,

ACS user unknown though username in Server

All, Im facing very strange issue with my TACACS authentication. Normaly i connect my DC via SSL Anyconnect VPN then access all the Network devices, but since last week when i try to connect ASA i couldnt log in. I have user name in ACS server and the password authentication would redirect to RSA server. I can access other devices using my TACACS username and RSA passcode, but not only the ASA box. As rest of my team member can still access the ASA with their userid and passcode i dont think any issue in ASA box.
The error log message in ACS server is ACS user unknown.

To me it seems the shared secret being used on ASA to communicate with tacacs is mis-matched and that's a reason you are getting "ACS user unknown". This should be a problem all users who are trying to do ssh on ASA and authenticating against tacacs server. Why share-secret could be an issue because the shared secret being used to encrypt the packet is not same while decryption and that's why we are seeing unknown username.

WBM User Unknown - firewall config change

In my Security Log I have been seeing a strange message that keeps appearing, see below.
I have no idea what this is or if this is someone hacking my router or if a virus is on my computer. It has appeared even during times when my computer has been turned off. I have my firewall set at max security and changed my password. Even after changing my password this appeared. Not sure what this is or what to do about it but I am very concerned.
Firewall Setup Configuration change
WBM user Unknown (0.0.0.0) has changed security settings[repeated 5 times, last time on Aug 25 03:00:26 2010]

This explanation was given by Actiontec (they build the router for Verizon)
Product:MI424WR (Rev. I) - Wireless Broadband Router
Incident Summary
=========================
Since Verizon can't answer this question I would like to know for the
people who built this router.
Verizon Actiontec MI242WR (not sure of Rev)
firmware 40.19.36
Why do I get this log security event every day?
mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy
Firewall Setup Configuration change WBM user Unknown (0.0.0.0) has
changed security settings
=========================
Resolution:
=========================
Each and every day, Verizon has a server that makes contact with your
router to check its firmware.
No changes are made to your router however, it simply checks the router
to make sure the firmware is up to date and this generates a log entry.
=========================

User unknown

In System Properties under Advances and User Profiles there is a User Unknown.Is it ok to delete?
Paul Napolitano

Hi,
Please run lusrmgr.msc or click Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Manage Accounts to view what accounts are actually stored in this system.
Perform a security malware scan to make sure that it is not created by some malware (just to be safe).
Have you ever formatted your system partition? My another guess is that it’s probably a user account from another OS or
previous OS that has been removed or recently deleted because any “format” action.
If you’re annoying with this unknown user profile, I suggest you backup your system, create a restore, then delete the user profile for a test.

SL mail (status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table))

Hello
I have setup mail with 6 locally hosted virtual domains. I created shortnames on workgroup manager with the complete address for the user. After some good results i start getting "status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)". Also the shortname (with the domain name) created for the first virtual host name becomes grey ( like the default )
If i only setup one virtual domain everything works great, but with more than one it starts sending this message in the smtp log.
i dont know if this got something to do with the fact that my host name is mail.example.com and my domain name is example.com.
Hope someone can help me

I'm have the exactly this issue on a new SL server mac-mini. Someone help!

Mailman + Postfix + Virtual Domains

I'm going nuts trying to get this thing working... I spent the best part of yesterday getting Postfix and Courier working with Virtual Domains and a PostgreSQL backend. That's all working fine.
Now I've spent about the last 5 - 6 hours trying to get Mailman working -- obviously without any luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I tried installing from source, and following the 'official' installation manual, but that doesn't cover Virtual Domains very well (obviously not well enough to get it working at least).
*Then* I realized that their's a package in EXTRA for Mailman, so I wiped the source install I did, and installed the package, but I'm still stuck.
I think the main part of my problem, is the manual says that I should have a 'data/virtual-mailman' in the mailman installation directory, but I don't, and can't find any information on how it is created!
At the end of the day, I just need a single damn mail list on one of my virtual domains for a dozen people -- if anyone has an easier solution than this, please suggest!

Also, what's the output of
postconf virtual_maps virtual_alias_maps
Let me be sure I understand your situation. You currently have postfix setup with virtual domains and mysql. You are successfully able to send/receive emails from your virtual accounts, correct?
Correct.
postconf: warning: virtual_maps: unknown parameter
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, pgsql:/etc/postfix/pgsql-virtual-forwards.cf
And the contents of /etc/postfix/pgsql-virtual-forwards.cf

windowbreaker wrote:In that case, you're probably trying to have postfix process all email sent to, say, [email protected], by mailman. In which case you need to pass that email message to a mailman command, right? I'm sure I got some things wrong, so go ahead and clear them up so I can give you detailed advice.
Correct. My domain in question is ryla9810.org which has one alias that forwards to my gmail account (phil@), and I need one mail list with a dozen members (team@). The forward works, but the maillist is causing me grief
Thanks for all your input so far

Access denied error when Loading document library for "contribute" users : Unknown SPRequest error occurred. More information: 0x80070005

Hi,
We are facing a very strange issue on a SharePoint Publishing portal. Domain users (contribute level access) have access to document libraries under specific sub sites. Every morning if they try to access the document library pages, users complain about "Access Denied" issue on document library page. But if a SP Farm admin account login on site, and browse to document library page, access denied issue seems to disappear for end users also. For whole day it works fine. But next day access denied error occurs again. I am not sure why this is happening. I have looked into Event Log and SharePoint Logs, found following information useful, but not sure what to do next.
Please help.

Hi pryank,
From the log, it seems that the users don’t have permission on this page:
/Projects/LFB/03 Bid Stage 1/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Does the sub site have unique permission instead of inheriting permission from the parent site? If no, you need to make the sub site to inherit permission from the site collection so that master page also inherits the right. If this is not allowed in your organization, please go to “Site Actions”à “Site Settings” à “Master Pages and Page Layouts” to give users permissions on this document library.
Hope this helps.
