Do you think it was just an issue of lack of patience?
I was testing it last night using email sent from yahoo.com, and stuff was
bouncing. Now, six hours of sleep later, all seems to be functioning
normally.
Am I just deluding myself?
What's a good way to make sure everything is configured correctly, anyway?
Everything loads fine, according to /var/log/messages and seems to be
spitting out what I'd expect from both nslookup and dig.
... but how can I be sure?
For what it's worth, I've conquered postfix aliasing problems several times,
so I know how to fix that now... and what it looks like when that's the
problem.
