I'm running postfix, mutt, and fetchmail on Ubuntu. The machine

Local email, from scs to scs (and also
notifications from postfix to scs), doesn't arrive at all if my
/etc/postfix/main.cf contains:
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost
Local mail works but has san.rr.com in headers if I go back to the
ubuntu installation's choice:
mydestination = san.rr.com, localhost.localdomain,
localhost.localdomain, localhost
If you are using fetchmail to hand mail off to an MTA, the MTA needs
to understand that it is a final destination for the domain of the
recipient.
I.e., if you tell fetchmail to retreive all your mail from your
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" account, and hand it off to your local SMTP
(postfix), then yes, postfix needs to understand that it IS supposed
to accept mail for "san.rr.com". Otherwise, it will deny relaying.
This is as-designed behavior.
You should require no entries in /etc/postfix/generic. What you are
attempting might be better handled by aliases.
What, exactly, are you trying to do? I think you are overthinking
your configuration, or perhaps have run past your target. :)
