When you installed Mandrake you ticked the 'Mail server' box in the 'Install Packages' screen didn't you? If you do that Mandrake Installer will install the mailman package which will screw up Postfix until mailman is correctly configured. To get around it :- urpme mailman Then edit your main.cf and remove the references to mailman in :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases so it should be :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases There is also a mistake in your mynetworks line. It should be :- mynetworks = 192.168.123.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 You do not need to include your exterior IP address. You should also edit /etc/aliases to define a real human user who can receive error mails from postfix as in :- # Person who should get root's mail. This alias # must exist. # CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN root: troy Then remake the aliases database with newaliases derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
