The
local_recipient_maps parameter specifies lookup tables with
all names or addresses of local recipients. A recipient address is
local when its domain matches $
mydestination, $
inet_interfaces or
$
proxy_interfaces. If a local username or address is not listed in
$
local_recipient_maps, then the Postfix SMTP server will reject
the address with "User unknown in local recipient table".
The default setting, shown below, assumes that you use the
default Postfix
local(8) delivery agent for local delivery, where
recipients are either UNIX accounts or local aliases:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
local_recipient_maps =
proxy:unix:passwd.byname $
alias_maps
To turn off unknown local recipient rejects by the SMTP server,
specify:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
local_recipient_maps =
That is, an empty value. With this setting, the Postfix SMTP
server will not reject mail with "User unknown in local recipient
table".
