That is not my IP address or what is assigned, i was just using it for simplicity...

How can I change the address it sends mail to? I rather change it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can probably do that by changing /etc/aliases but it's strange since I didn't need to do this in 5.3

On 5.3 everything was working fine, I would be emailed daily/weekly/

those log report emails being queued up in postfix.

The problem is it is trying to connect to the wrong IP...
the machines default IP is 1.1.1.1 (for simplicity) which is
hot.domain.tld and ip alias on the machine is 1.1.1.2 which is my
mail.domain.tld
According to maillog it keeps trying to connect to 1.1.1.1 to deliver
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it gets refused...


You should not use IP addresses that or allocated or reserved for other
purposes. Use one of the addresses reserved for private networks. eg
192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1.




Back on 5.3 it never did this... it sent mail properly, I think by using the localhost address...

I don't think this is a postfix problem but probably something
changed on how daily log reports are sent/handled? Anyone have any
idea on where to start?


The default for the mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you have an alias
setup to send it to whatever addresses you want the log reports sent to?
