Hi,

I'm new to postfix and having difficulty setting up gateway/mail servers with postfix.

I need to set up a machine, a gateway server that uses postfix SMTP AUTH and passes mails to Trend Micro Interscan VirusWall. Interscan Viruswall then passes mails to postfix on a differnect mail server.

Everything seems to be fine but when a mail is rejected on the mail server due to unknown local user, the mail is bounced back to the gateway server, and stay in the queue on the gateway server. Does anybody help me correct the configuratiopns.

Thanks in advance.

And what do your mailserver logs say about the rejected messages ?
 
Here is the log for the mail server
Mar 18 10:36:52 MailServer postfix/smtpd[5817]: connect from unknown[192.168.0.1]
Mar 18 10:36:52 MailServer postfix/smtpd[5817]: DD05E24026: client=unknown[192.168.0.1]
Mar 18 10:36:52 MailServer postfix/smtpd[5817]: DD05E24026: reject: RCPT from unknown[192.168.0.1]: 550 <xyz@abc.com>: User unknown; from=<john@yahoo.com> to=<xyz@abc.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<GatewayServer.abc.com>
Mar 18 10:36:53 MailServer postfix/smtpd[5817]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.0.1]

And here is the log for the gateway server
