I am trying to set up postfix on a private network. The mailserver is
not registered with any dns server. The problem is that I can't get
postfix to stop trying to look up its own domain with local mail and
just use the hosts file. Or if I could get it to stop appending
anything to the username and just deliver it locally, that would be
good too.
Or at least I think that is what is going on. I haven't worked on a
Unix or a mailserver since the last millenium, and I'm feeling VERY
rusty.
I am running in a chroot setup.
Here is the log output from a test mail:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo|sendmail -f john john && tail -f /var/log/mail.log
