The name 'home' is relatively safe from collisions with future real domain name because it is often used on internal networks (source: https://icannwiki.org/Name_Collision) > 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 When I try the above settings on my non-mac system, the addresses work as expected: $ postconf alias_maps local_recipient_maps mydomain alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps mydomain = home $ postconf myhostname myorigin mydestination myhostname = macserve.home myorigin = $mydomain mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain Both email addresses are accepted in SMTP: $ telnet localhost smtp Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

With both RCPT TO commands, the Postfix SMTP server finds the user 'ken' in the system password database, after stripping the mydestination domains (home or macserve.home) and calling the system library function getpwnam() with the 'bare' username ('ken'). Thus, the getpwnam() result should be the same with both RCPT TO commands. Suggestion: use the above postconf commands to verify your configuration. I suspect that will expose the source of the discrepancy.
