If postfix considers x.com a local domain, it doesn't matter what the MX records of it are. It will deliver locally. Postfix uses the "mydestination" parameter to determine what exactly is local. running "postconf mydestination" will show you the config option as it understands. Posting your mail logs for a test email will also be very useful in identifying the problem. --lonnie /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
