 Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2002 9:11 pm Post subject: Problems with sending mail using postfix - domains |
 |
|
I have recently set up my work laptop with Gentoo. I am using Mutt to send mail via Postfix.
I have set my hostname to computer.domain.net
When I try to send email to coworkers with the same domain as my machine it fails because it is looking for the accounts locally. For example, I send to coworker1@domain.net, it fails because the user is not found.
How can I tell postfix to not look locally? Just send all mail out to the internet? |

What does your 'mydestination' setting say in /etc/postfix/main.cf? It sounds like you want something like:
| Code: | | mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain |

| Can you post the output of 'postconf -n'? |

| Code: | | mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain |
seems to have done the trick.
Just to see if rizzo has more inout here is the output of 'postconf -n' too.
| Code: | alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
mydomain = hbs.net
myhostname = nightcrawler.sterlinganderson.net
myorigin = hbs.net
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
relayhost = mail.hbs.net |
