If you want postfix to respect your hosts file, you need to set         disable_dns_lookups = yes in main.cf. is mx record a must even if I am using for testing only?? No, an MX record is not required. You can always send mail to the FQDN of your postfix server. Is there any alternatives of using mx record locally something like hosts file Regards Amira Othman Server Administrator www.cairosource.com   6 EL Nil EL Abyad, Mohandiseen Cairo, Egypt Direct:     +2 02 3303 7175 Mobile:   +2 012 220 4165   The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
