I've been trying to get my mail working for a couple of days and I'm ready to give up, so this post is my last resort. Anyway, I have installed iRedMail on clean server, set up SSL certificates and added a new user account using SQL script in the tools folder.

My server is hosted on something.com. During installation, I had to pick my first mail domain and it said I cannot use something.com so I have used mail.something.com.

I have set my DNS records as well:
CNAME/A: mail.something.com    something.com
MX: something.com                      mail.something.com
SPF: something.com                     v=spf1 ip4:xxxx -all

If I send mail to user@mail.something.com it works. If I send mail to user@something.com I get the following:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

However, if I send mail to postmaster@something.com it works (postmaster was automatically created during installation).

I have tried to create alias in MySQL using the following command (found on iRedMail page):

INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, created, active) VALUES ('user@mail.something.com', 'user@something.com', NOW(), 1);

This gave me an error because user@mail.something.com already exists (I have created it with the SQL script). I have then updated the goto field to user@mail.something.com,user@something.com. This didn't work.

I have then tried adding a new entry as follows:

INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, created, active) VALUES ('user@something.com', 'user@mail.something.com', NOW(), 1);

This didn't work either and I was still getting User unknown in local recipient table errors.

I saw that the alias table has is_alias and alias_to columns. I have updated those as well with values 1 and user@mail.something.com and it didn't work either.

I really don't know what else to try. I haven't listed everything above, but I've tried a lot of different combinations of aliases, goto addresses, domain names etc. Nothing has worked that would allow me to send mail to user@something.com.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions at what I might be doing wrong. I can provide logs, config files as well.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Edit:
My postfix/main.cf settings:

myhostname = something.com
myorigin = something.com
mydomain = something.com
