That is how it's supposed to be. You *only* need what is in virtual_domain_maps, with *correct* entries there, and an *empty* mydestinations. You need to read the postfix documentation and to understand what you are doing. It's difficult before you understand it (it took me quite a while and was very frustrating), but once you do, playing with mail servers is fun. Maybe give Exim a try, that might be easier. The Exim documentation is the best documentation of anything I've ever seen --- it not only explains you how you can configure it, but it also explains you how Exim works and gives you a good general understanding about how mail is being handled and how that works. It's available as PDF (500+ pages) and as info. You don't need to read it all at once, just look up in that documentation how you can do what you want to do, and it comes to you after some reading. If you try it, do not use the automatic configuration Debian provides, but copy the sample configuration (/usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/example.conf.gz) and adapt it to your needs. Go step by step and make sure you understand what you are doing in each step. Check out the exim website. That probably makes the learning easier than trying to set up postfix like that. (The automatic configuration does work, but I find it more confusing than anything else because I would never really know how exim is configured if I used it. And I don't want to have some automatic configuration thing tamper with the configuration of my mail server.) If you want to be thorough, let mail servers aside for now and learn how to set up a name server first. Go by /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/DNS-HOWTO.gz, that tells you all you need. DNS and mail servers are related, and knowing about DNS will help you a lot in understanding mail servers. It will make the documentation of mailservers much easier to read. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
