Why "localhost"? This would accept messages via SMTP addressed to USER@localhost. I'm not sure, if this is intended. > Am I doing things wrong by adding the short host name to > local_domains? Why does @ only expand to the FQDN and not to FQDN and > the short host name? Why is there not q special expansion item > expanding to the short host name? Imagine your host ist named "dk". Where should user@dk go to? To Denmark (.dk has an A record) or to your local host. From my personal point of view, mail addressing should use FQDN always, or no domain at all (destined for the *local* host, not *localhost*).
