Topic: Alias definitions .... weird error!

Hi
Using the iRedMail rc2 on Debian Lenny.... I have setup various aliases for the users...
like "first.lastname@domain.com" for the account "shortname@domain.com"  ....

However I do get an obscure error:

This is the mail system at host name.domainname.com.

<firstname.lastname@servername.com>: user unknown

How did you setup alias account? Which backend do you use? MySQL or OpenLDAP?

I am pretty much the MySQL backup and using the following:
"postalias -q 'firstname.lastname@domainname.com' mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf"
gives me the expected shortname@domainname.com back..... so.. so far so good!!
But still I get the error....

and I made the definition for the "firstname.lastname@domainname.com" alias through the "postfixadmin" web-interface....

Re: Alias definitions .... weird error!

Does account 'shortname@domainname.com' already exist in mysql database (vmail.mailbox)?

Interesting!
I just noticed... after searching intensely for similar problems... that when changing the
receive_override_options= no_address_mappings
to just
receive_override_options =
I was able to use all the aliases that I had defined.....

but... as I can see in the "postfix.sh" file has the "postfix.sh:    postconf -e receive_override_options='no_address_mappings'" been entered??
or is there a tweak for this ??
