I see what you're saying now. I have a destination account. I'm testing with my main domain account on our exchange system I just changed the domain name in my examples because I'm in the habit of doing so. Without your change: [r...@servername postfix]# mail -s test1 [email protected] test1 .

Maybe that's where the issue is. Not being relayed and that account isn't local to the box that Postfix is on so Postfix is bouncing it (which it should). MG This message is private and confidential. If you have received it in error, please notify the sender and remove it from your system.
