I've been an exim user for quite a while now, but recently decided to fool with Postfix a bit. I'm also attempting to become a trial fetchmail+mutt user.
So, I set up Postfix to relay mail through my remote mailserver using smtp authentication, and set up fetchmail to grab my mail. The problem is that when I invoke fetchmail, it downloads my mail, but Postfix promptly attempts to relay it to the remote mail server rather than delivering it to my local account. I've thus far been unable to figure out why this is happening. Mail between local users is delivered locally, and I can send to remote addresses without problems. If anyone has any insight into this problem or can point me to a relevant portion of TFM, I'd be greatful.
