User not found using alias

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’ve created an user dashie@mydomain.tld and want to alias everything so i’ve created an alias : @mydomain.tld redirecting to the dashie@ email.

But in logs i got from postfix:

Dec 15 09:39:25 derpy postfix/smtpd[16726]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from ...[...]: 550 5.1.1 <rhaamo@mydomain.tld >: Recipient address rejected: undeliverable address: host ...[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <rhaamo@mydomain.tld > User doesn't exist: rhaamo@mydomain.tld (in reply to RCPT TO command); from=<...@...> to=<rhaamo@mydomain.tld > proto=ESMTP helo=<...>

What’s wrong here ?

I removed a /var/lib/postfix/verify_cache.db which could be not updated, and it /seems/ to be ok. I will do more tests about that tomorrow.

Also note the default delay of 3h (address_verify_negative_refresh_time) of enabling an alias when a negative request was made for that just before it’s creation.
