I do not know why this seems so hard to understand:
I DO NOT HAVE A CANONICAL DOMAIN NAME!!!
My mailreading machine has a domainname of frodo.localdomain. Try pinging THAT!
Those two settings you described work nicely for a machine where the mail will
be directly delivered, which also has a real domain name. My machine fits
neither of those two criteria, so I used 'trusted_users' and 'envelope_from'.
Anyhow, it's resolved. thank you.
