Upgrade to 10.10 breaks email server aliases

I solved this...

postmap likes to look for a default install config directory

to get postmap to remap your /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix and to have it map the appropriate file...

sudo postmap -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix virtual_users

note, NO trailing slash on the config directory, and direct postmap to interrogate virtual_users instead of virtual

My guess is the newaliases command works similarly

I updated from OS X 10.7.5 Server to OS X 10.11.1 with Server 5.0.15

I had to use KrawNET's solution:

sudo postmap -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix virtual_users

Plus I had to remake the virtual.db:

cd /etc/postfix

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

sudo postfix reload

Hope this others that are upgrading.

Big Thanks to KrawNET

Hey Boddie,

I just updated from OS X 10.8.5 Server to OS X 10.11.4 with Server 5.1.

I routinely run mailq or postqueue -p in terminal to make sure no spammers are trying to send and it getting refused and filling up the queue. But now when I run mailq, I get:

unknown: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 690: overriding earlier entry: config_directory=/etc/postfix

Is this something to worry about? If I run what you said above, will it fix this?

Thanks!

Open Server.app and go to Accounts, Users, and in the 'Email Addresses' field enter as many email fully qualified domain name email addresses as you like (hit the plus button to add more) e.g. fred@bloggs.com for the 'alias' fred on your bloggs.com mail server.

Hi Scott. I'm having the same problem as you. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Ben

Hello guys,

I am having the same problem here.

I came from Server app 3 and OSX 10.9.5 to OSX 10.11.6 to Server app 5 and OSX 10.12.1, and when i tried to reload postfix in this version, i receive several warnings,

remote:~ root# postfix reload

postfix: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 690: overriding earlier entry: config_directory=/etc/postfix

/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 690: overriding earlier entry: config_directory=/etc/postfix

/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: use_sacl_cache=yes

/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: imap_submit_cred_file=/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/submit.cred

/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: mydomain_fallback=localhost

postfix/postlog: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 690: overriding earlier entry: config_directory=/etc/postfix

postfix/postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system

postsuper: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 690: overriding earlier entry: config_directory=/etc/postfix

I have tried KrawNET and Boddie solutions and i continue to receive the same output.

I am using my mail service as it came by default, i have not made any configuration, with old settings that i was using before.

Inside of that /etc/postfix/main.cf there is no config_directory=/etc/postfix,

mydomain_fallback = localhost

message_size_limit = 10485760

biff = no

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated permit

recipient_delimiter = +

smtpd_tls_ciphers = medium

inet_protocols = all

inet_interfaces = all

config_directory = /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix

server_config_directory = /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix

compatibility_level = 2

Other entries are in this file.

Dont know but that missing entry of config_directory=/etc/postfix could be the problem and from what i am seeing it could be a problem when someone come from a previous versions of Server App/OSX. The system must assume old values from previous configurations, and it fails in this new version. The best way to solve this it could be from comparing one fresh postfix installation dont know.

Any one knows other ways to solve this?

I didn't get it resolved, but I didn't try all that stuff above. Just been living with the error message and it seems fine.

And now i am having also a problem with command dig ... i am unable to use it, i am getting a big list with this:

del 0x1005a3070 size 112 file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/bind9/bind9-45.101/bind9/lib/dns/message. c line 464 mctx 0x7f901cc0a9f0

Since i upgrade from a Server App with minimal services being use, i am gonna wipe this mac and do a fresh install to avoid forwarder problems, and i will never do again an upgrade in this OSX from now on, there is no insurance from what i am seeing. At least with me i cannot speak to much because i had to bought a new version of Server App an came from a very old OSX but from someone who already had Server app 4 or 5 and just did an OSX upgrade from the previous version, this is unbearable!
