Does anybody have any idea why my postfix server accepted mail
for the
non-existent user "<squir...@webmail.cnysupport.com>" (no alias
by that name either)?

I've narrowed it down to a problem with the way subdomains users
are
validated.

badu...@cnysupport.com is properly rejected at the rcpt to:
command,
while badu...@whatever.cnysupport.com is accepted, then causes an
NDR.

Anybody have any ideas?

Yes.&nbsp; As you were already told, set in main.cf
relay_domains =
ie. set explicitly to an empty value.


That worked, however I was not "already told" anything, except Charles Marcus' recommendation to post postconf -n, which I did.

The subdomains weren't listed in mydestination, relay_domains was not set, which should default to mydestination.

In any case, According to http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relay_domains, the relay recipients are supposed to be validated against relay_recipient_maps. Since I don't have a relay_recipient_maps, it should reject anybody who isn't a local user.

It's working, and I appreciate the help, but I'm either misunderstanding the docs or something is behaving improperly.
