Issue Emails bounce on Postfix or Qmail

JohnnyU

Basic Pleskian
I can send mail from this domain account and receive it in gmail in seconds
When i send mail from a gmail account to the same Plesk email it bounces back with different errors for Postfix and Qmail.

Gmail Error Messages

QMAIL: 'Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) qmail 7745 invoked from network)'

Strange thing is that it works to send and receive from another domain i have in plesk!

I checked and it is different but i did not touch it so probably because of the settings done in Plesk, tried everything
And since i have another server on Plesk Onyx i checked that one too and the mydestination line is different but similar to the backup file found on both servers

server 1: mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost, localhost.localdomain
server 2 & backup file: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

tried the backup file and the error is: Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "admin" instead of the usual: Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; User unknown in virtual alias table

EDIT: I found a resolve: in Plesk - Tools & Settings - Server Settings i changed the 'Full hostname' to another domain i have on plesk but i do not use.
Not sure if this has any implication but in Tools & Settings - Mail Server Settings - i changed to 'Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting'

Now in Postfix config file main.cf i have that domain shown on 'myhostname = NEWDOMAIN.COM'. Tested with forwarding, i can send & receive mail, everything works as expected


------------------------------------------------

Another 'fix' i found here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...-BOTH-mydestination-and-virtual-alias-domains

In main.cf i removed mydestination & disabled virtual_alias_maps: #virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
