I've been testing from my MacPro to the Mini Server (MacServe), but here's some
further findings:-
So far I've been sending test messages from the MacPro's command-line and as
I've said:-
user@mydomain works
user@myhostname fails
The my* references are the Server's postfix config parameters (i.e. 'home' and
'MacServe.home' respectively) and 'user' is any user with a login account on
that server (MacServe).
If I try sending to the same addresses but using Mail.app, I get the exact same
results.
Using either method I am unable to test to 'user' as Mail.app won't allow a To
without an @ (you might remember what I think about that) and on the
command-line it is simply sent to the local user as they exist on the Server
and this MacPro.
If I use MacServe's command-line:-
user@mydomain fails with a "loops back to me" error
user@myhostname or just user is not seen by postfix, seemingly handled
by the unix mail service and in both cases the message is delivered to that
user's account which can be viewed with command-line 'mail' but doesn't get to
dovecot, the IMAP service.
What I would like to achieve is that all hosts on the LAN (including MacServe)
can send a message via command-line 'mail' or an email client app to
user@myhostname or user@mydomain (again, server's postfix references) which
ends up in MacServe's dovecot to be accessed by an IMAP client. And…
Command-line 'mail' on any host will also deliver messages To 'user' to that
local user on that machine.
Currently that mostly works, except when addressed to user@myhostname. When
sent using MacServe's command-line 'mail', it is snatched up by the unix mail
system and delivered direct to that account's mailbox, same as for mail
addressed to 'user' and when sent from any other host on the LAN, it is
rejected by MacServe.
I'm thinking ahead to new postfix install NOT in MacOS. However, would be great
if I could fix any of that now,
