Hello,
I currently have my server configured to perform virtual domain hosting. It
forwards mail addressed to addresses for my virtual domain (ex: example.com),
to Gmail accounts.
Mail —> [email protected] —> [email protected]
I was reading more about the relay_domains parameter in “man 5 postconf”. It
states:
“[specifies] destination domains (and subdomains thereof) this system
will relay mail *TO*”
I note that on Postfix 3.0 and later (my server is Postfix 3.1.0), this value
defaults to an empty value. When I specify “postconf | grep -i relay_domains”,
I note that if the compatibility_level is 2 or higher (which my server is
configured to), the value defaults to $mydestination.
I have mydestination configured to “localhost”.
How is it, then, that my server is successfully forwarding to Gmail ? Would I
not have to specify the Gmail DNS names in relay_hosts ? Should I explicitly
configure that ?
Thanks,
- J
