I know I'm missing something simple, but I'm going blind trying to find it. Any help much appreciated.
I've got a new freebsd box set up. I want the [daily|weekly|monthly] periodic reports to be delivered to my central mail server, not locally. This machine does not otherwise in any way handle mail - it's a dedicated network monitoring machine. I've got this kind of configuration working on several boxes, but this one is fighting me. I'm getting messages in /var/log/maillog about "mail looping back to myself", and the mail is discarded. Relevant logs and settings below. Thanks, Kurt /var/log/maillog: Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: 889881A4C67: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/cleanup[24875]: 889881A4C67: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 25 03:01:20 loki sendmail[24858]: m8PA1KYe024858: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30919, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as 889881A4C67) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: 889881A4C67: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1466, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: 889881A4C67: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0.17, delays=0.15/0.02/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for loki.example.com loops back to myself) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/cleanup[24875]: AB4781A4CEC: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/bounce[24895]: 889881A4C67: sender non-delivery notification: AB4781A4CEC Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: AB4781A4CEC: from=<>, size=3246, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: 889881A4C67: removed Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: AB4781A4CEC: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for loki.example.com loops back to myself) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: AB4781A4CEC: removed Sep 25 03:01:20 loki sendmail[24909]: m8PA1KEH024909: from=root, size=1478, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: D92DB1A4C67: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/cleanup[24875]: D92DB1A4C67: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 25 03:01:20 loki sendmail[24909]: m8PA1KEH024909: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31478, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as D92DB1A4C67) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: D92DB1A4C67: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=2042, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 25 03:01:20 loki postfix/smtpd[24861]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: D92DB1A4C67: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0.12, delays=0.11/0.01/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for loki.example.com loops back to myself) Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/cleanup[24875]: 021951A4CEC: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/bounce[24895]: D92DB1A4C67: sender non-delivery notification: 021951A4CEC Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: 021951A4CEC: from=<>, size=3822, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: D92DB1A4C67: removed Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: 021951A4CEC: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for loki.example.com loops back to myself) Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/qmgr[58371]: 021951A4CEC: removed postconf -n alias_database = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases command_directory = /usr/local/sbin config_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all local_recipient_maps = mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/local/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/local/man mydestination = mydomain = example.com myhostname = loki.example.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/local/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = no relay_domains = $mydestination, $mydomain sample_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = maildrop smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name strict_rfc821_envelopes = yes transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport example.com smtp:zxch.example.com /usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster postmaster: root bin: root daemon: root named: root nobody: root uucp: root www: root ftp-bugs: root postfix: root manager: root dumper: root operator: root abuse: post
