    this is the header information that was sent (and forwarded back to me) to a hotmail account. The email server I used, was the postfix-mysql for debian 4.0.

    Code:
    Return-Path: <[email protected]>
    X-Original-To: [email protected]
    Delivered-To: [email protected]
    Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
    	by mail.mydomain.ca (Postfix) with ESMTP id 04B99DA4235
    	for <[email protected]>; Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:36:28 -0500 (EST)
    X-Virus-Scanned: Debian amavisd-new at mail.mydomain.ca
    Received: from mail.mydomain.ca ([127.0.0.1])
    	by localhost (etch.mydomain.ca [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024)
    	with ESMTP id 98KrUDoKJakB for <[email protected]>;

    Why doesn't it come up with my mail server name, or my mail server IP instead of localhost and 127.0.0.1?

    is this a flaw in the setup? or is this how it is intended to be?

    Didn't you get a DSN (delivery status notification) with a more detailed error message?
