So your domain's MX goes to google, and you just want locally-generated mail to get forwarded as normal mail to your address?

You may be able to deliver straight to Google, like you're trying, but that isn't necessarily the only way to go. Your ISP probably has an SMTP server, and when accepting mail from its internal network may not even require authentication. This is easy to set up in postfix (relayhost).

So, postfix knows it isn't example.com (but foo.example.com), and you put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your ~/.forward, and then postfix sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via your ISP's SMTP server, and it ends up the same place all mail headed for [EMAIL PROTECTED] does.

right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
