Mailman Postfix Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table;

Friday, May 14th, 2010

May 14 15:29:15 apel postfix/smtpd[13425]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[202.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 550 5.1.1 <milist@nixnux.or.id>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<usera@nixnux.or.id> to=<milist@nixnux.or.id> proto=SMTP helo=<usera>

I see the error log /var/log/mail.log in my ubuntu lucid 10.04 with ispconfig 3.0.2.1, postfix and mailman.

error above cause of :

  • mailman hasn’t hash alias_maps or virtual_alias_maps
  • mallfunction section of integration postfix with mailman

please try my solution :

check config file /etc/postfix/main.cf , make sure you have :

.
.
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
.
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
.
.

postfix build map and try reload postfix :

~# postmap /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
~# postmap /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

~# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

~~Good Luck~~

Mailman list admin password reset

Friday, May 14th, 2010

If you forget your admin list password for a mailman list in your linux ubuntu, type this at the console :

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw --listname=milist --domain=masterpop3.com --password=newpassword

where :

–listname=milist
Change the password only for the named list.  It is okay to give multiple -l options.

–domain=masterpop3.com
Change the password for all lists in the virtual domain `domain.com’.  It is okay to give multiple -d options.

–password=newpassword
Use the supplied plain text password `newpassword’ as the new password for any lists that are being changed (as specified by the -a, -d, and -l options).  If not given, lists will be assigned a randomly generated new password.

~Good luck ~
