I have not been following this thread, but there are two simple mistakes people often make with Postfix that may help you. 1/ Your hostname *must* include a domain name. Hence 'jordan.localdomain' is acceptable, but 'jordan' is not. 2/ You *must* define an alias for the user to receive root's error mails. Look at the bottom of the default /etc/postfix/aliases file for guidance. After changing the aliases file run 'newaliases' HTH derek
