Ah, ok. Some thoughts: - You might be able avoid the issue by changing the root alias to point to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead. - AFAIK Postfix does not consult resolv.conf; it talks to DNS directly. - See 'man 5 postconf' for reference. - Use 'postconf | less' to see the current config values. - The Postfix 'mydomain' parameter should be set to 'localdomain'. You can use the 'dnsdomainname' command to find out what the machine thinks its domain name is. The way to change the domain name persistently varies by distribution. - Setting up MX records isn't hard and may pay off in stability. - If you must, you can short-circuit the whole name lookup using a transport map. See the 'transport_maps' Postfix parameter. However, while transport maps are powerful, this sort of hack shouldn't be necessary.
