Well, a standard product from Apple is hardly a 'special setup', but that
aside, I am not wedded to the use of MacOSX Server. Far from it. I have been
intending to ditch it as soon as it makes sense for me to do so, which for
reasons that are no ones business but my own, has not been the case so
The problem appears to be that when it fails to find anything for
k...@macserve.home, postfix splits the address into ken and @macserve.home
(after getting that from mydestination).
It then runs ken against unix:passwd.byname and gets a result:-

I've been testing from my MacPro to the Mini Server (MacServe), but here's some
further findings:-
So far I've been sending test messages from the MacPro's command-line and as
I've said:-
user@mydomain works
user@myhostname fails
The my* references are the Server's postfix con
Does 'postconf daemon_directory' simply return info from the main.cf, or does
it query the running process to get exactly what is being used?
Yes, on MacOSX Server there are 2 entirely independent installations. The
standard Mac one plus the Server one. I know where they both are, but I cannot
Yes, the login account shortname is simply 'ken'.
Case makes no difference and shouldn't. Anyway I've tried it all every which
way, so e.g. ken@Home, ken@HoMe etc all work fine. Any address using any case
variation of myhostname does not.
BTW, hostname returns MacServe.home

I simply cannot think of any configuration that would affect one and not the
other. But then I'm no postfix expert.

Postfix has been running for some years on my Mac server, with some limitations
that I have been working around. However, another server on my LAN is trying to
send emails to me (on the Mac server) and being rejected with the above error
and repeats every 7 seconds so I need to figure out what i

My needs are simple. I just need to be able to send email from any host on the
local network to postfix/dovecot on a Mac Mini server so that an IMAP client
can receive and access the mail and since dovecot is using maildir, it does not
see unix mail.
Postfix has been installed on the Mini for s

supplying the exact config information being used.
A symlink in the appropriate place should ensure I get the correct info from
now on.

Aha. Had not tried that (hadn't seen that as a config. parameter).
postconf -d config_directory => config_directory = /etc/postfix
So, despite the process itself saying it's using one directory, postconf
reports a different one, the default.
How would different postconf files account f

It is many years since I set up postfix on my Mac server and it's use is now
purely for local email, i.e. users on home network. However I have some issues
with this and could really do with some help.
First of all, changes I have made in main.cf are not being used. AFAICT I am
editing the main
