postfix - "Recipient address rejected" when sending an email with sendgrid

In postfix, I'm using relay_host to send an email to an external address using sendgrid, but I get an error about local ricipient table when sending an email from my PHP code.

This is my main.cf in /postfix/

## -- Sendgrid
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes 
smtp_sasl_password_maps = static:username:password 
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous 
smtp_tls_security_level = may 
header_size_limit = 4096000
relayhost = [smtp.sendgrid.net]:587

This is the error message from the log:

postfix/smtpd[53598]: [ID 197553 mail.info] NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost.localdomain>

One interesting thing is when I use "sendmail [email protected]" from the command line, the email is delivered successfully using SendGrid. I think it's because this uses postfix/smtp instead of postfix/smtpD

the log for this says,

postfix/smtp[18670]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AAF7313A7E: to=, relay=smtp.sendgrid.net[50.97.69.148]:587, delay=4.1, delays=3.5/0.02/0.44/0.18, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Delivery in progress)

Thank you

unix - Postfix on Snow Leopard unable to send MIME emails, including header contents in message body

devvy

I configured postfix on snow leopard by adding the following line to /etc/hostconfig:

MAILSERVER=-YES-

I then configured postfix to relay through my ISP's SMTP server. I added the following two lines in their respective places within /etc/postfix/main.cf:

myhostname = 1and1.com
relayhost = shawmail.vc.shawcable.net

I then have a simple PHP mail function wrapper as follows:

send_email("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Test Email", "<p>This is a simple HTML email</p>");
echo "Done";

function send_email($from,$to,$subject,$message){
 $header="From: <".$from.">
";
 $header.= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
 $header.= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
"; 
 $send_mail=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
 if(!$send_mail){ echo "ERROR"; }
}

With this, I am receiving an e-mail that appears to be improperly formatted. The message header is showing up in the body of the e-mail. The raw message content is as follows:

<p>This is a simple HTML email</p>

And here are the contents of my /var/log/mail.log file after sending the email:

Two other people in the office have followed the exact same process and are running the exact same script, version of snow leopard, php, etc. and everything is working fine for them. I've even copied their config files to my machine, restarted postfix, restarted apache, all to no avail.

Does anyone know what steps I could take to resolve the issue? This is boggling my mind...

Thanks
