First of all, there's no need to change mydomain and myorigin. All you need to do is create a file /etc/postfix/canonical with the following line in it: oakman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Afterwards, run postmap /etc/postfix/canonical This will generate a file /etc/postfix/canonical.db Add the following to /etc/postfix/main.cf sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical And reload postfix. This should fix it... Cheers, Wouter -- Human beings were created by water to transport it uphill. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
