    Hi all,

    A couple days ago I tried upgrading our old mailserver using sendmail to postfix following this tutorial and managed to get everything working except that postfix won't receive any inbound mail to internal users. The reject code was "Relay access denied". Tried double checked everything but seems OK, this is my configuration

    /etc/postfix/main.cf

    queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
    command_directory = /usr/sbin
    daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
    mail_owner = postfix
    inet_interfaces = all
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
    unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    debug_peer_level = 2
    debugger_command =
    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
    xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5

    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
    newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
    mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix

    Can anyone point out which is the cause of the error ? any help would be appreciated since this is the first time I try postfix. TIA

    you need to add your domain names to the
    Code:
    mydestination =
    option.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to use my domain name in the code.... I guess the standard option isn´t enough then
    Code:
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
    But shouldn´t the domain names taken by the $myhostname ?

    unless your hostname = yourdomain name.

    Thanks for your opinion, that makes me want to add $mydomain too...!
    it's not displayed in the config.
