mydomain defaults to myhostname minus the first component. E.g., myhostname = mail.example.com => mydomain = example.com. myhostname has a default which is the value returned by gethostname() or `uname -n` >On the new server I changed this to: > >mydomain = domain.tld >mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost You still probably want localh...@local_domain in mydestination however local_domain is determined because sooner or later some program somewhere on your server will mail to that domain. >and now list mail goes to either <listname>@mail.domain.tld or ><listname>domain.tld, as desired. > >Puzzling, but thanks again.
