Mailman: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Good Morning,
I just finished migrating Mailman from one server to another, following the instructions at URL http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030682
I am running Mailman version is 2.1.15
But now I am seeing the following error in my /var/log/maillog "NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[]: 550 5.1.1 <external IP Address>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<d> to=<> proto=ESMTP helo=<[]>"
Here is my postconf -n output:
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_protocols = all mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, list.$mydomain mydomain = informs.org myhostname = mail.informs.org myorigin = $myhostname newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES recipient_delimiter = + sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
Here is my mm_cfg.py config file:
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'list.informs.org' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'list.informs.org'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
MTA = 'Postfix'
Can someone please counsel as to how to correct this error? Thank you, Rose

If "from=<d> to=<>" are literally what is in the log message, this is a message with envelope from 'd' and to ''. I'm not sure how this could occur (possibly a broken spambot), but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mailman or any message to a Mailman list.

Tell the admins of the server at 'external IP Address' to quit engaging in bogus SMTP dialogs with your server or block the IP address with iptables or another firewall.
Do you actually have a problem with Mailman and posts to Mailman lists? If so, what are the details of that problem?
