Well, setting it up now (again after a "play" install this morning).
I don't wish to turn this into a Postfix list so if anyone can help and would care to answer off-list: At present my box is on the LAN, if I've called it "relay.mira.co.uk" and I want it to accept any mail for the mira.co.uk domain and forward it to otherserver.mira.co.uk do I use virtual domains or, as I think, transport mappings? Reason I ask is that the transport mappings don't appear to work if I use the format domain.com smtp:[otherserver.mira.co.uk] regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
