Hello there -
I'm having an odd local mailbox delivery problem.
I've recently upgraded my OS X installation from 10.4 (Tiger) to 10.5
(Leopard). In the process, my postfix installation, which has been
stable for many months, was updated. My master.cf and main.cf
customizations (minor changes to enforce $mydomain, etc. and deliver
to maildir) were manually edited into the new files, I didn't just
copy over the old configs. Aliases and other hash tables were rebuilt
with postmap.
I'll run postfix start to begin servicing inbound SMTP, and life is
good. I'll get delivery notices like:
Oct 30 18:42:37 babelfish postfix/local[2871]: AC70B768FA: to=<
>, orig_to=<>, relay=local, delay=3.2,
delays=3.2/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir)
After running for about an hour (hard to tell exactly), I'll suddenly
see a bounce notice like this:
Oct 30 19:46:42 babelfish postfix/local[2780]: AC02A768D9: to=<
>, orig_to=<>, rel
ay=local, delay=0.56, delays=0.45/0.05/0/0.06, dsn=5.1.1,
status=bounced (unknown user: "kes")
All subsequent messages arriving for kes suffer the same fate. When I
postfix stop/postfix start the mail system, the problem goes away for
another hour.
All the other behaviors appear normal; non-local users get rejected
before delivery, aliases are being translated correctly, etc. It
looks to my uneducated eye that this is some kind of local delivery
problem, since the process in charge of permitting delivery in the
first place reliably allows them in - they just can't be delivered to
the local mailbox because the user has been forgotten? The kes user
maildir is located on the same box and is always available. Same
problem occurs for other users, btw.
What other info can I provide? This has me completely baffled.
Tx.
