URGENT: /etc/alias configuration after upgrade

[linmar]

Hi,

I've upgrade to Zimbra 4.5.6 a couple of days ago.

I have request tracker (RT) and listserv (mailing-list software) configured in order to handle certain mail-addresses outside of zimbra by adding the commands to the /etc/aliases file.

This has been working for years.

Since the 4.5.6 upgrade all mails to those addresses are rejected.

What can I do?

Many thanks in advance!
Markus

/etc/aliases:
[...]
listserv: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool listserv"

Thats in the zimbra.log:
Jul 6 20:07:29 linke postfix/error[9888]: 71C0D18D0001: to=<listserv@linke.de>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (linke.de)

Following those instructions did not help either:

Add Alias To Script - ZimbraWiki

I upgraded to Zimbra 4.5.6 a few hours ago and the aliases I had defined in /etc/aliases are no longer respected.

I was forwarding emails to alias@hostname.domain.com but this is not working and the emails just bounce.

linmar, did you find a solution to your problem?

What changed in 4.5.6 in the way local aliases are handled?

[linmar]

This solved the issue for me:

| This process should make the list work again. Run this command to set
| mydestination:
|
| su - zimbra
| zmlocalconfig -e postfix_mydestination=xxx.com
|
| Then change this line (58 on 4.5.6) in /opt/zimbra/conf/zmmta.cf from
| this:
| POSTCONF mydestination localhost
| To this:
| POSTCONF mydestination LOCAL postfix_mydestination
|
| Then run this to have postfix pick up the changes:
| postfix reload
|
| Zimbra Network Support

Many thanks, linmar - this fixed the problem.

I set "postfix_mydestination" to the full name of the host name; eg: hostname.domain.com.

Starting with 4.5.7 the upgrade will define a global attribute in ldap called zimbraMtaMyDestination and will default to localhost.

For ZCS users that have /etc/aliases customizations and/or mailman integrations you'll need to set this value to the fqdn of your host, for those to continue to work

zmprov mcf zimbraMtaMyDestination <fqdn>

Similarly for users with multiple MTA's behind a load balancer or virtual ip we've added settings for myhostname and myorigin as ldap attributes zimbraMtaMyOrigin and zimbraMtaMyHostname.

I've got the same error on my 5.0.10 installation. Sadly, the zimbraMtaMyDestination didn't solve the problem. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this.. I have implemented the instructions in this thread on one server and it works like a champ. I do the same exact things on another server and it's not working.

Everything looks exactly the same in the aliases file, I ran newaliases., restarted zimbra.

I did the zmprov command as suggested and it took;
When I look in zmprov CLI using the GetAllDomains command it shows my domain that I added for the hostname of the server.

I restarted the zimbra services.

I am immediately getting the error... Recipient address rejected:
mail.hssc.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Any thoughts on this?

My version of the non-working server:
Release 5.0.6_GA_2313.UBUNTU6 UBUNTU7 FOSS edition

My version of the WORKING server:
Release 5.0.7_GA_2450.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition

Thanks!
