So you have a choice, you can figure out how else to deal with the from/to spam, or you can not get the mail from your wife. There is a reason that people are told not to reject mail from their own domain. LuKreme Victor: Everyone who sends mail through my mail server is authenticated, so I do not want to accept any email from my domain that does not come from an authenticated source. But, I need to accept email for my wife, so the proper solution is to do what Victor suggested (short-circuit the email loop). Thanks. I guess nobody has any ideas on the other problem I mentioned, because nobody has responded to that half of my original email. :( Daniel

This is not default Postfix behaviour. You configured your Postfix to reject such mail, now appears that you need to accept it. Indeed I did, Viktor. The huge majority of the spam I get is from me to me spam, and this was an attempt to avoid that spam. It is proving to be phenomenally successful - it is the single greatest spam limiter I have ever seen, blocking nearly twice as much spam than the ZEN spamhaus list that I implemented at the same time. I could remove the limitation as you suggest, but doing so would open me up to hundreds of spams a day. I could certainly email my wife at the local address instead of the .mac address, and shall begin doing so, but is there any other way? Thanks. Daniel

Pick one: - You want to receive some external email with envelope sender addresses in your domain. - You do not want to receive any external email with envelope sender addresses in your domain. If the former includes some spam, deploy a decent spam content filter, use good RBLs, ... This said don't send mail out that you already know will come back in, use virtual_alias_maps to short-circuit appropriate external addresses to internal mailboxes. -- Viktor.
