Oh wait, you crossposted to the postfix list. Please keep the discussion there going, you have a postfix issue, not a dovecot one ;)

Hi,

Typically, postfix should resolve the aliases into user accounts that dovecot knows before you even start delivering to dovecot. You probably messed something up in the postfix config that disables alias expansion before dovecot delivery is attempted.

Can you show us your postfix config?

Kind regards,

Recently configured postfix to use the dovecot lda as I wanted to use sieve. Got that working a few days ago but noticed that I wasn't getting any emails to aliases. Checked the logs and saw messages like:

Mar 1 08:19:59 carson postfix/lmtp[16949]: 0DCD22016BE: to=< sales@example.com>, relay=carson.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.07, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host carson.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 < sales@example.com> User doesn't exist: sales@example.com (in reply to RCPT TO command))

Aliases were working previously and are in /etc/postfix/vmaps

Anything I need to check on the dovecot end of things to get dovecot to recognize postfix aliases?

Thanks...reaching for my morning coffee. Info below:
