Hi,
I'm having a problem with postfix and /etc/aliases. I want mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I add "admin: user" to /etc/aliases and then run newaliases, I see
mail.mydomain.com attempt to forward the message to itself - which is
rejected as "(mail for mail.mydomain.com loops back to myself)".
I'm using Mandrake 8.2 with postfix-20010228.
Anybody know what's needed?
Thanks.
David
