[Dovecot] postmaster alias

[Tracy R Reed]

I have dovecot configured to use an LDAP database for mail delivery with
dovecot-lda. All of of my user accounts and aliases work fine except for
postmaster@ which consistantly bounces. I have compared the entry for
postmaster with another working alias and see no difference. When I send
mail to postmaster I get the following in the logs:

Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/pipe[12083]: 6D6CF33444:
to=<postmaster at mydomain.com>, orig_to=<postmaster>, relay=dovecot,
delay=3, status=bounced (user unknown)Jun 11 02:11:13 server1
deliver(treed at mydomain.com): saved mail to INBOX
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/pipe[12193]: 6D6CF33444:
to=<treed at mydomain.com>, orig_to=<postmaster>, relay=dovecot, delay=3,
status=sent (mydomain.com)
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/cleanup[12055]: 49F1F33431:
message-id=<20060611091113.49F1F33431 at mail.mydomain.com>
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/qmgr[29342]: 49F1F33431: from=<>,
size=2138, nrcpt=2 (queue active)
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/qmgr[29342]: 6D6CF33444: removed
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/smtpd[12089]: 6464D33415:
client=d150-39-102.home.cgocable.net[24.150.39.102]
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/pipe[12193]: 49F1F33431:
to=<treed at mydomain.com>, orig_to=<root at mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot,
delay=0, status=sent (mydomain.com)
Jun 11 02:11:13 server1 postfix/pipe[12083]: 49F1F33431:
to=<myboss at mydomain.com>, orig_to=<root at mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot,
delay=0, status=sent (mydomain.com)

Then I get a bounce email back saying:

<postmaster at drjays.com> (expanded from <postmaster>): user unknown

The strange thing is that first I get the bounce and then the mail goes on to be delivered to the two users (me and my boss) specified in the alias as it should be. How is this possible that the user is unknown and then it goes on to deliver to the alias?


I am running 1.0.beta8 pulled from CVS May 23 16:46 (PDT) with
openldap-2.2.13-4 on CentOS 4.3

Thanks for any clues you can provide!
