Topic: status=deferred (temporary failure)

I'm somewhat stumped as to the problem I'm having. 

Mail seems to arrive on my server without problem.
I watch it pass though the greylisting, and then get accepted

Sep 25 00:01:46 mail postfix/qmgr[2182]: 63BFF2E2DC: from=<user@gmail.com>, size=2345, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

When I do a mailq, I see that the message is always there

I have no problems sending mail to the internet.

I've tried tweaking main.cf, using postsuper to flush everything, but the messages always seem to get stuck. The communication between dovecot and sql seems to be ok for sending, but for whatever reason for incoming messages there has to be something missing.

any ideas? thanks

Re: status=deferred (temporary failure)

You didn't post the log which mention why it was temporary failule.

Please re-inject it into queue and monitor maillog to check why deliver failed:

# postqueue -f 50FE42E2EE

Here 50FE42E2EE is mail queue id you post above.

It must be something where postfix isn't seeing the virtual domains.

Re: status=deferred (temporary failure)

It seems there's some error while delivering mail. Could you please paste log in /var/log/sieve.log?

If no more detail in /var/log/sieve.log, please set 'mail_debug = yes' in dovecot configure file (/etc/dovecot.conf on RHEL/CentOS or /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf on Debian/Ubuntu), and then run postqueue -f QUEUE_ID and monitor /var/log/sieve.log & /var/log/dovecot.log.
