Let's say my server's hostname is site.com. I also run various web based software packages, which send out e-mail to customers. This works great. The problem is that my server also sends out e-mail to [email protected]. The problem is that the site.com e-mail is not hosted on this server, it's actually hosted on a 3rd party e-mail server, so I am not getting these e-mails. Is there a way of forcing Postfix to use the MX records for site.com, even if this is the local name of the server? The server will not be receiving ANY e-mail, just send out. Thanks!
Oops, I didn't realize I was in the ISPConfig2 subforum, this is about a clean postfix install on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Hopefully a mod can move this thread. I am hoping I can avoid hardcoding the SMTP server, or I will run into problems when the 3rd party changes its MX records. I just want to force postfix to look up the MX records for site.com whenever e-mail is sent to site.com. Mods: please move this thread, thanks!
Postfix is always doing this by default. So no need to configure something. Just do not create site.com as local email domain.
Mydestination has to be set to the hostname of the server, it my not be empty. Just make sure that you use a subdomain for it as it is described in the perfect setup manuals.
