Having followed the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL howto on FC several times I still keep getting the same problem. If I do "echo test | mail user@domain.com" the mail folders are created fine and I can login and view the mail no problem. However, if I try to send the mail from another network to the domain on this server it never arrives and there's no log of it in maillog! In BIND I have the MX record for the domain configured as follows: domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com. and an A record pointing the FQDN to the IP: mail.domain.com. IN A ip.ip.ip.ip Everything else is working fine on the server - Apache, MySQL etc and mail sends to other networks OK. My /etc/postfix/main.cf file is as follows (some standard commented lines removed):- ----- queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain 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 setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES myhostname = domain.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf virtual_create_maildirsize = yes virtual_mailbox_extended = yes virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_maildir_limit_message = "The user you are trying to reach is over quota." virtual_overquota_bounce = yes proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings ----- I'm assuming that it's a DNS issue or something similar as mail addressed to the same address arrives if sent internally.

Sorted, working now! I was sending from an old server which used to have the domain configured on it so it was just spooling internally!
