Thanks, good catch. But fixing the typo made the server to start (without the quotes).
But I still get this error.. Jul 16 12:23:30 hostM postfix/smtp[698664]: 7A2A020ECDC6: to=<joe@hostb>, relay=none, delay=0.05, delays=0.02/0.03/0/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=hostb type=A: Host not found) That is the mail comes from user1@hosta to the mail server (hostM) [due to relay host setup on hosta], but the mail server hostM says cannot find hostb. I would expect the mail server hostM to accept mail for hostb since it is part of the mydestination variable.
