No, Your MTA (usualy postfix) does not know anything of the data stored in cyrus. By default postfix only knows addresses from users stored in the local user base (unix users) and the aliased addresses. If nzhang is not a local user and not listed as an alias, postfix rejects the mail. > > Regards, > Norman Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------ H E L I X Gesellschaft f�r Software & Engineering mbH ------------------------------------------------------------ Hanauer Landstrasse 52 Telefon (069) 4789 35-30 D-60314 Frankfurt am Main Telefax (069) 4789 35-44 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.helix-gmbh.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------
