Re: Use MX record when sending to $mydomain
Thanks Ansgar, As I copied the output of postconf something did stood out as 'fix me': the $mydestination included $mydomain, I changed $mydestination to be localhost only and it works fine.

I want it to use the normal rules and deliver it to the MX registered address for "mydomain.com", where my pop box is. I looked over the main.cf but nothing jumped out 'fix me here' to solve this. Any hint? Please post the output of "postconf -n". And if you must obfuscate your domain name, please use names from RFC 2606. They're reserved for exactly this purpose.
