Debian 11 - implementing Postfix and Dovecot Integration for Email Delivery on Custom Domain
I'm trying to configure I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm working with issues with my email setup using Postfix and Dovecot on a Debian 11 server. I've configured Postfix to handle incoming mails for my custom domain, but the emails aren't being delivered correctly. Instead, they get exploring in the mail queue, and I see the following behavior message when I run `postqueue -p`: ``` *** WARNING: the following aliases were not found: user@mydomain.com ``` I've verified that the alias exists in my `/etc/aliases` file, and I've run `newaliases` to update the aliases. My `main.cf` configuration for Postfix looks like this: ```bash myhostname = mail.mydomain.com mydomain = mydomain.com myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain relayhost = ``` For Dovecot, I've configured it to handle IMAP connections, and my `dovecot.conf` file includes the following settings: ```bash mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir service imap { executable = imap imap-login inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } ``` I've restarted both Postfix and Dovecot after making these changes, but still no luck. Could this be an scenario with the way I'm routing the emails or something in the DNS settings? I also checked my DNS records and confirmed that the MX record is pointing to `mail.mydomain.com`. Any insights on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Bash on Linux. This is part of a larger web app I'm building. This is my first time working with Bash LTS. I'm working in a Windows 11 environment. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
