What I don't seem to be able to do with my default config is create mapping between the local user joe and the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using myserver.mydomain.com as the primary MX for the domain is on-line and I expect this notation will be considered local. The only way I have managed to get this to work is to have an aliases file which looks like joe.bloggs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] joe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] But the sequence used my the routers seems overly long. 1) dnsrouter = skipped, domains mismatch 2) system_aliases yields [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3) dnsrouter = skipped, domains mismatch 4) system_aliases skipped: previously routed [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5) userforward skipped no .forward file. 6) localuser router, transport local_delivery I can live with this aliases file format but it doesn't look right and I think there an extra dnsrouter being used.
