  • This could mean that the email you are trying to send to is not correct, can you try sending an email to of which you are sure it is correct and see if you get the same error?

It's resolved. It was following line and I disable it.

#sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/dependent

It was looking for things which are not there

I had a similar problem and found this question. The problem was my sender map, but the solution was to postmap it. This was the line from my main.cf:

sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/sdd_transport.pcre

I had the pcre file set correctly, but I needed to run this command from within the /etc/postfix directory:

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sdd_transport.pcre

Then restarted postfix and everything was fine.

  • For pcre type maps you don't need postmap, pcre maps are plain text files. Postmap is needed only for hash type maps. Something else that you did simultaneously must have fixed your problem.
