    You should remove permit_mx_backup.

    This feature is intended for ISP-scale users that may not have a

    this case, permit_mx_backup_networks would define the ISP's
    customer
    network space.


I've just tried that, but the mail queue filled up with double-bounce messages being sent to postmaster. This is partly the reason why I'd like to sort out my configs, as there's clearly some stuff going on that I don't understand.

BTW in the meantime, if I add this (where mx2.mydomain.com <http://mx2.mydomain.com> is our secondary MX hostname), I take it that would be a good idea:

permit_mx_backup_networks = $mynetworks mx2. mydomain.com <http://mydomain.com>

 or is there a way of replacing address verification (if that's what is going on) with something better?

Thanks for your help BTW.




If you need permit_mx_backup, that means postfix doesn't have a clear idea of domains it is responsible for.

Please read and study:
http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

mydestination should contain domains that are delivered locally by postfix on the same machine.

relay_domains should contain a list of all domains that are passed further downstream for final delivery outside of "this" postfix, such as to another process on the same server, or to a different server.

It shouldn't be that hard to tell postfix what domains it is responsible for.
