I've purchased business email so all emails to contact@anikadigital.in should go to privateemail.com as per the MX record of anikadigital.in.

Here is the MX lookup of anikadigital.in:

DNS server handling your query: localhost
 DNS server's address: 127.0.0.1#53

 Non-authoritative answer:
 anikadigital.in mail exchanger = 10 mx1.privateemail.com.
 anikadigital.in mail exchanger = 10 mx2.privateemail.com.

but still I'm getting this error in the syslog file:

 A091021432: to=<contact@anikadigital.in>, relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)

How can that be?

Here is the postfix configuration. I've mangled other domains however I've retained the anikadigital.in domain as it is:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
always_bcc = contact@anikadigital.in
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, localhost.localdomain, localhost
myhostname = host.digittions.in
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
myorigin = /etc/mailname
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:$data_directory/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:$data_directory/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_domains = digittions.in indiacc.com cffd.com def.com duplicateticket.com karera.digitaltransactions.in mail.digittions.in idoff.com accrec.in anikadigital.in passport.anikadigital.in pan.anikadigital.in tpst.in
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

You specifically configured Postfix to handle mail for anikadigital.in, in virtual_alias_domains. When you put a domain here, Postfix always delivers the mail locally.

If the mail is not meant to be delivered locally, the domain must not appear in virtual_alias_domains, virtual_alias_maps, myhostname or mydestination.

There are multiple possible reasons for this:

• outdated DNS results on the sender side


• a sender that doesn't adhere to the SMTP standards


• spam bots


• ...

If you have a service that is reachable from the internet, there will be people or bots trying to abuse it.

Your server rejects the mails, that is good, but there is not much you can do about this. Basically, just ignore it.
