    Sorry, I've put the wrong host names to the mail. Obviously it isn't
    ecentrum.hu, but az.isten.hu. So the correct email is:

    Hello!

    I've recently set up postfix (postfix-2.0.16, compiled from source),
    and it works great, for local delivery. But I want to manage a number
    of virtual hosts, and users only for email access. I have read the
    postfix-2.0.16/README_FILES/VIRTUAL_README file. What I read was very
    simple; just a few lines, and file creating, and it will work ( I
    thought). I made exactly that, what I read in that readme file. So,
    I've added to main.cf:

    virtual_transport = virtual
    virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/virtusers
    virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusers/mboxes
    virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps
    virtual_minimum_uid = 5000
    virtual_uid_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusers/uid
    virtual_gid_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusers/gid

    Every files have good/true content, and I've generated the db files
    from the plain text files. Now I only have one virtual account,
    called 'virt@az.isten.hu'.

    /etc/postfix/virtusers/mboxes:
    virt@az.isten.hu virt

    /etc/postfix/virtusers/uid:
    virt@az.isten.hu 5001

    /etc/postfix/virtusers/uid:
    virt@az.isten.hu 5001

    drwxrwxr-x    2 postfix  postfix      4096 /var/mail/virtusers
    -rw-rw----    1 5001     5001            0 /var/mail/virtusers/virt

    I get this error in the mail.log file:

    postfix/smtpd[27864]: 7C02734063: reject: RCPT from host[ip]: 450
    <virt@az.isten.hu>: User unknown in local recipient table;

    It seems that postfix knows nothing about my virtual domains (users).
    I tried to tell postfix, to fall back to virtual delivery if local
    fails:
    in main.cf:

    local_transport = local

    fallback_transport = virtual

    But the error is the same.

    Anyone did this before, and got the same error? Any ideas will be
    appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Daniel
