I am using rh 8 w/postfix and I have configured it as per Suresh's howto.
I have added the local users to /etc/postfix/virtual and then run postmap
/etc/postfix/virtual.

user1 and user2 are local users on the machine.

What is happening that if I send mail from user1 to user2 the mail gets
queued up as from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but obviously as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist, the mail comes back w/ an error message.

If on the other hand I send mail from user1 to user2@localhost or to
user2@hostname then the mail is delivered correctly to the local user2.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the correct behaviour ? I am using
mutt and pine to send the messages. Can I send local mail w/o appending
@localhost or @hostname ?

thanks, 

Sharukh.
