Solved postfix not finding local user accounts when added in bulk

[kt_bsd_]

Hi,

If I add a new local user account (user1) by running the adduser(8) command and going through the interactive sequence, then I am able to successfully send emails to this new user account (user1@mydomain.com).

However, if I add a group of bulk users from a file with adduser -f <filename>, the users add fine and home directories get created but I cant send emails to these new users.

Error log:

Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;

Any thoughts?

I fixed the problem. The file with the list of users had capital letters in it. Usernames needed to be in lowercase and problem solved.

Yes, UNIX account names are case sensitive while email addresses are not.
