Hi all,

Im setting up a mail server using postfix/dovecot and just trying to send some emails on the localdomain to test the mailbox but I getting the below message back from outlook.

'[email protected]' on 23/02/2010 21:30
550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

Any ideas?

Sorry if im been stupid but im not sure where that is?!?

Is it a setting in my main.cf?

Thanks I also found that by googling but the setting doesnt exist in my main.cf.

I have the below and tried commenting it out as a test but no luck.

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain
