Docker-mailserver: unable to receive emails

Created on 15 Oct 2019 · 7Comments · Source: tomav/docker-mailserver

Hi, i've installed this container and successful send email messages, but when I tried to receive an email I have an error:

mail | Oct 15 16:06:23 mail policyd-spf[1483]: prepend Received-SPF: Permerror (mailfrom) identity=mailfrom; client-ip=209.85.XXX.XXX; helo=mail-qk1-f181.google.com; [email protected]; receiver=<UNKNOWN> mail | Oct 15 16:06:23 mail postfix/smtpd[1226]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-qk1-f181.google.com[209.85.222.181]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-qk1-f181.google.com>

I think your problem is here:

warning: do not list domain my_domain.com.br in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains mail

Is your host name defined to be the domain name, by any chance?

The normal approach is to use a host name, for example but not necessarily mail, and then the domain name. The full name would be mail.somedomain.com where host name is mail and domain name is somedomain.com. If you set the options in your yaml file you shouldn't even need the OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME option, it should just work. The MX record should point to mail.somedomain.com which also needs an A record. You may keep another A record for somedomain.com without host name as well if you like.

Alternatively if you want to stick with your current configuration you could edit config/postfix-main.cf and add:

mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost

That overrides the default which is:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

Restart. Hopefully that does the job. I would recommend the first approach. The second has worked for other users, but may have unforeseen issues.

It looks like you haven't defined [email protected] as a user, but it is hard to tell. The template is not all bad - it is impossible to help you without more details about your configuration, what you have done and possibly more logs.

I have a same problem. Is this a new bug in latest version?

pengsamuel on 15 Oct 2019

I’ve not tried but this problem is described in postfix official documentation: http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html

digounet on 16 Oct 2019

@pengsamuel and @digounet it could be a bug in the latest version, but I'm a bit skeptical as there have been few changes and this should hit all users (me included) unless you are doing something special. To fix the bug if there is one or to solve your problem if it is a matter of your configuration we need to know the details.

Please share the commands you used when you installed and your configuration options and the rest of the logs when this happens. In particular we need to know details for the involved users. Is there a [email protected] in the accounts file, for example.

Hello,

steps to reproduce (my_domain is not the real domain):

started a new computer instance
created A record pointing to instance IP
created MX record pointing to instance IP
changed computer hostname no my_domain in /etc/hostname and also changed the /etc/hosts files
added a new user pablo@my_domain
install container
`docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:latest

curl -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/setup.sh; chmod a+x ./setup.sh
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/docker-compose.yml.dist
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/.env.dist`

changed hostname and domain in .env to my_domain
copied env-mailserver file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/env-mailserver.dist
changes in file:
OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME=my_domain POSTMASTER_ADDRESS=pablo@my_domain SPOOF_PROTECTION=1 ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1
added user with ./setup.sh email add pablo@my_domain
generated dkim with ./setup.sh config dkim
added key to my dns provider
started container with docker-compose up mail

I think your problem is here:

warning: do not list domain my_domain.com.br in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains mail

Is your host name defined to be the domain name, by any chance?

Alternatively if you want to stick with your current configuration you could edit config/postfix-main.cf and add:

mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost

That overrides the default which is:

It's worked!! thank you. I've changed the computer domain from my_domain.com.br to mail.my_domain.com.br, and changed the hostname and domain name in docker-compose.yml file to

hostname: mail domainname: my_domain.com.br
