Ie. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is because postfix only knows about the hostname as its name. you need to inform the postfix daemon that it is the destination for mail for the whole domain. you can do that by adding mydomain to the destinations that are final on the box. mydestination = .... $mydomain , .... please do not disable localhost, since error messages from e.g. cron won't reach you then.
postfix is faily good documented, have a look at man main.cf > > > > > I am guessing but is the only reason for this because I need to set > my DNS > server (other box) with an MX record for the TSL box? no, that is for other people to reach your mailserver. If you have mx in place, but no acceptance rule on the mailserver (forward/virtual/ rewrite/mydestination/whatever) you will get "mail loops back to myself" errors. also here: RTFM, since RFCs allow fallback to delivery to A records if MX are missing, but you're right, MX record is the way to go, just that you have that primary / backup thing understood, before messing with it, since it isn't so easy to debug, since DNS TTLs and caching times can make you headaches. and when you got it, please add a section that would have helped you to the trustix wiki, thanks in advance matthias _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
