I just installed Postfix on Debian minimum server and configured it as below:

installation:

  1. installed it
  2. chose internet site
  3. set name to mydomainname.com

/etc/postfix/main.cf configs:

  1. changed myhostname to mydomainname.com
  2. changed alias_maps to virtual_alias_maps and set it to hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

/etc/postfix/virtual content:

(Shahab@eeePC is my local user with capital first letter!!)

  1. add entry shahab@mydomainname.com Shahab
  2. ran sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
  3. ran sudo service postfix restart

I sent an email from gamil to shahab@mydomainname.com and here is the records of /var/log/mail.log:

problem is Postfix can't recognize my user or something and removes the mail.
