I followed this tutorial to setup an email server that uses virtual users. https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/mailserver-with-virtual-users-and-domains-using-postfix-and-dovecot-on-a-centos-6-vps/
I am able to send emails, but when i try to send an email to one of the virtual mailboxes i get the following error in the maillog.
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table;
Based on the research ive done it appears that this line is the cause. Specifically "reject_unauth_destination".
> smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
I tried removing the "reject_unauth_destination" value and i then get the following error.
fatal: in parameter smtpd_relay_restrictions or smtpd_recipient_restrictions, specify at least one working instance of: reject_unauth_destination, defer_unauth_destination, reject, defer, defer_if_permit or check_relay_domains
Anyone know what i can do to fix this error. I can log into the account just fine and send mail. Everything seems fine except for this rejecting of emails.

I have added records to the 3 vmail files to configure the account
vmail_domains - mydomain.com OK
vmail_mailbox - [email protected] mydomain.com/dan/
vmail_aliases - [email protected] [email protected]
