The recipient DOMAIN matches virtual_mailbox_domains, but the
recipient ADDRESS does not match virtual_mailbox_maps (or
virtual_alias_maps).

For finer control, use "smtp_host_lookup = dns, native" or
"smtp_host_lookup = native".

Hi all,
I am configuring mail server on virtual
  machine for testing. I am using centos 5.6 and
  postfix-2.3.3-2.3.el5_6. I can send without problems but I
  can’t receive mails. I don’t have mx record I tried to add to 
  hosts file but no change.
  


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

The RFC stipulates that only an A record is required.  Mind you, your
/etc/hosts file isn't equivalent to an A record.  Configure an
override in your transport file for testing.

Oh, and try not to send HTML mails to mailing lists.

You can also try through your favorite mail client (thunderbird, etc...) 
and define your VM-TEST-SERVER as the smtp server for your mail account.
