[Mailman-Users] local recipient table

[Ruben Safir]

I have a custom archive system that I have used for decades and I lost
the ability to send mail through the mailing list to its user account.

Jan 05 01:13:13 2018 (3042) delivery to archive at xxx.com failed the code
550: 5.1.1 <archive at xxx.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown
in local recipient table

I am using postfix

I have delivery when I use mutt to just send email to the account.

I tried to add this to postfix main.cf but no change in behavior

# local_recipient_maps settings are OK.
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps <<==

the user is sitting in /etc/passwd

www2:/var/lib/mailman/logs # grep archive /etc/passwd
archive:x:1001:100::/home/archive:/bin/bash

dns record looks good
www2:/var/lib/mailman/logs # dig mx xxx.com

; <<>> DiG 9.9.2 <<>> mx xxx.com
