Hi lee,
Your advice solves my pending problem. Thanks. I'm following this howto; http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/edition5.html building postfix virtual which is my goal. This is my 5th round. All previous tests failed (following other howto NOT relating to this howto). > On Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:57:54 +0800 (CST) > Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > # grep relayhost /etc/postfix/main.cf > > relayhost = > > Ok, I guess that would mean that there are no hosts specified for > which > xen05 is allowed to relay mail. > > > comment out that line 'mydestination'; > > http://www.postfix.org/basic.html says: > > "The mydestination parameter specifies what domains this machine > will > deliver locally, instead of forwarding to another machine.

For > example: > > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, > satimis.com The above advice works seamlessly. Incoming mails arrive.

I have no idea what does it refer to on following link; http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/help/satimis.com.html Postgrey is running on this box. 3) Again sent another mail on Gmail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It also arrived being added to /var/spool/mail/satimis file Problem solved. Others noted with thanks. Now how can I make the 1st incoming mail creating subdirectoris /cur /new etc automatically. TIA B.R.
