Hi,

thank you for your answer.

-----Original Message----- You run a mail server that receives mail addressed to a number of domains. All mail to user_1 should be delivered to user_1, regardless of which of your domains it was addressed to.

Correct.

All mail to user_2, regardless of domain, should be sent to user_2.

Correct.

You have alias files set up so that mail addressed to other people, e.g. user_12, should be delivered instead to 'real' users e.g. user_1.

Yes.

The problem you are having is that messages addressed to a real user, user_1, are being bounced with the "550 Unknown local part" message, despite the fact that user_1 is listed in your mysql database, and you are using authmysql.

Is this summation correct?

Absolute correct.

Does it happen with all your users, or just user_1?

With all users.

What is user_1's actual user name

the same name.

does it have anything other than alphabetic characters in it?

No.

Does authtest work for user_1?

Yes, for all users.

Must i set also entry in the mysql database for every domain?

I'm afraid I'm not a mysql expert - I use userdb - but I *think* the answer is no. Maybe someone else can provide some advice?
