I have no idea if this is a good place to ask, but I figured it's as good of a place to start as any :~)
I'm trying to set up postfix on my Mac Mini so I can have e-mail hosted for my tiny lil personal domain. I have almost everything working, except that incoming e-mail doesn't get accepted. By default, it gets rejected saying "user unknown in local recipient table". I looked, and the table is set to look up Unix accounts (unix😛asswd.byname), which is what I want--I'm only going to have two addresses, linked to OS X accounts already, so just looking it up based on the account is fine.
However, the /etc/passwd file doesn't list the actual user accounts on the machine, which is why I'm guessing postfix is rejecting it.
If I add one of the user names into /etc/aliases, so that local_recipient_maps accepts it, the "local" process then rejects the e-mail with "unknown user" even though the user name exactly matches (and is even the user I'm logged in as to test with, so I know the user is valid).
Does anyone know if there's a problem with postfix processes recognizing OS X accounts, and/or how to get it to? I'm using 10.4.11 and the default postfix that came with the system. Failing that, does anybody have a good place to ask such a question? :~)
Thanks in advance!!
