[Solved ]not receiving mails when root@domain.com

[Sephiroth]

Hi

I'm in the middle of transitioning from efa 3 to efa 4.
What I'm having trouble is, when in the email address has 'root' in it, like root@domain.com.
I tried other addrsses like acc1@domain.com, or acc2@domain2.com and everythign wors finde, except when 'root' is the recepient.
It is working normally on my efa3, so I dunno where to look for a fix, as we still need this email address...

Regards

root has a canonical map in postfix to handle local root. You can change this behavior by removing the canonical map entries under /etc/postfix

Thanks for the quick reply!
So, I've deleted the entry in recipient_canonical & sender_canonical. replaced root with postmaster in main.cf and then restarted.
Still having the issue, am I tinkering in the wrong files?

You might have to postmap those two files and reload postfix

Code: Select all

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/recipient_canonical
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical

That fixed it!
