Topic: User unknown in virtual mailbox table

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Kindly assist me to resolve the error: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table, so that it gives me a bounce back message for local recipients users when they do not exist in virtual mailbox. I have observed that the SMTP rejects e-mail for non-existing users and the compose window remains active without sending the e-mails to even a single user in the list. This is caused by typos mistakes on the address bar when composing messages.

SMTP works like this. It can only fail all or none of the recipients

If that is the case, how can I configure it to return a bounce back rather than failing to close the browser and remain on compose window? I need the compose window to disappear and give me the bounce back.

You can try to remove 'reject_unlisted_recipient' in /etc/postfix/main.cf then try again.

Re: User unknown in virtual mailbox table

Thanks for feedback but that didn't solve the problem as well. Atleast i will appreciate if it gives/highlights the typos mistake on the email address or the error shows the real email address that is wrong.
