I think those entries must be for sendmail. > On the postfix machine I have in /etc/postfix/aliases: > root: arve > This should make all mail to root be delivered to me. Yes, I have root: prh, but postfix still tries to forward mail for root@<otherhost> to <otherhost> instead of hanging on to it. > It also contains a bunch of aliases that I'm not sure if is necessary: > arve@<hostname> arve > arve@<hostname>.lan arve > arve@<hostname>.localdomain arve > arve@<other machine hostname>.lan arve I hadn't thought of doing that. When I tried it, postfix complained "Names must be local" and wouldn't accept my root@<host> entries. > In /etc/postfix/main.cf there is this, and I assume at least some of > this makes this all work: > myhostname = <hostname>.lan > inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, <hostname> Isn't <hostname> the same as $myhostname? > mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 I'll try setting mynetworks and see what happens.
