Only one of my systems uses postfix with /etc/passwd mapping, in main.cf I have:
local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual, hash:/etc/aliases, unix:passwd.byname When adding a new account to the system(via 'adduser'), postfix does not recognize the account when recieving mail via SMTP until postfix is restarted(/etc/init.d/postfix restart), postfix reload is not sufficient. Mailing the user locally on the system (echo "test" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]) works fine. Very odd. I would expect this is not the expected behavior of postfix. It's not a big issue, this system maybe gets 5-10 new users a year. Running Debian 3.0r1. Before postfix is restarted any mail comming in for them via SMTP is bounced back with 'user unknown' mail delivery is done with procmail, delivered to the user's ~/mail folder, and accessed via qpopper/UW-imap (both configured to read mail from that other folder). I switched to postfix from sendmail when I upgraded the machine to woody back in august 2002, sendmail had no trouble with adding users. All my other postfix systems get user data via LDAP ..... any thoughts? thanks nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
