Hello all,

In an effort to create a mailserver which is both secure and easy to manage I've been playing around with postfix, cyrus, and dbmail.

I thought I had a good setup, so I documented everything and created a howto:
However, I'm running into some problems.

I have 8 different domains that will be hosted (not all are setup to direct to the server yet, but most are).

I have 20 users, with 21 email addresses (1 user has 2).

There are 2 users (from seperate domains) that have an email address of the style info@their-domain.com.

Niether of these users can receive e-mails.

I've eliminated the possibility of it being the dbmail program, and am now trying to figure out what is happening.

Here is the appropriate section of the maillog for analysis:

Found the problem.

The info address, as well as some others were in the /etc/aliases file. Removing them from here allowed them to work.

Cheers.
