Postfix has been running for some years on my Mac server, with some limitations 
that I have been working around. However, another server on my LAN is trying to 
send emails to me (on the Mac server) and being rejected with the above error 
and repeats every 7 seconds so I need to figure out what is wrong.

Here's the relevant config:-

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
mydomain = home
myhostname = macserve.home
myorigin = $myhostname
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain

The problem is that mail to :-

        ken@home - works

        k...@macserve.home - fails with the above error

I have an account on the Mac server, but I am not listed in /etc/passwd as 
MacOSX is using Open Directory. However, if that is the issue, how is email to 
ken@home working ok. Is that not going to require the same user verification.

This is something I wanted to get sorted a while ago, but resorted to only 
using the domain based address. However, something on the other server is using 
the host.domain based address and I want to finally get it sorted so both forms 
can be used.

If I use another user on that Mac, it's the same problem.

The Mac server's hostname is macserve.home and DNS resolves correctly.

Would really appreciate some help on why the user@mydomain works, but 
user@myhostname does not.
