Good morning,
      I configured Iredmail and postfix with relayhost, so all emails that are not destined to my domain using the external relayhost.

I would like to use the relayhost also when I send an email to a user who is not configured locally, for example info@xxxxxxxx.xx

I configured postfix with :
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, localhost.localdomain, localhost.$mydomain

believing that it would send emails to info@xxxxxxx.xx to relayhost but instead I get the error:
May  3 10:33:58 iredmail-server postfix/pipe[13769]: CC9D95C870C: to=<info@xxxxxxx.xx>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.04, delays=0/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown)

Thank you
Mark

Re: send unknown local recipient mail to relayhost

The sample email address, info@xxxxxx.xx, is the domain xxxxxx.xx hosted on your server?

Yes, xxxxxx.xx is the domain hosted on my Iredmail server, but user info@xxxxxx.xx doesn't exist.

Re: send unknown local recipient mail to relayhost

If domain is hosted on your server, emails sent to all users under this domain should be delivered locally. Why you expect the email to be sent through relayhost?

Re: send unknown local recipient mail to relayhost

Because I need to forward the emails for user info@xxxxxx.xx to other users like mark@xxxxxx.xx, max@xxxxxx.xx, etc. so, if the mail goes to the relayhost, the server fetch it again and use dovecot/sieve to forward it.

Now I have added info@xxxxxx.xx in the DB table alias  and it works.

Alternatives ? Are there better solution ?

Thank you
Mark

Solved by creating an mail alias is good enough, and probably the best.
