Thank you for your words of wisdom Wietse. 😉
I rather thought you understood how 'silly' it would be to run a find command
for postconf as I had already clearly explained (at least 3 times 🙂) I knew
where both versions were located and always ensured I was running the correct
one. Apologies if I wasn't clear enough for you. 😉
In any case, to please you I did run it and er, it confirmed what I have been
saying. 2 postconfs, each in the location I said they were.
I have now established which master is running and unless postfix reads
configuration from a main.cf other than what it has been told to use when
executed, I am running the MacOSX Server install of postfix which uses
/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf. End of.
However, postfix is still exhibiting errant behaviour:-
user@mydomain works
user@myhostname fails
Help with troubleshooting this issue is much appreciated.
Is there perhaps a postfix utility to which you can pass an address and have it
spit out exactly how it is dealt with? So it would e.g. reveal what it thinks
is the domain, what it thinks is the user to be validated. Is there anything
like that? Currently all I know is that one doesn't work, without any
indication of what is being done internally and hence resulting in the failure.
Is there anything really useful like that?
Otherwise I'll just have to put this down to postfix failure in a Mac Server
and wait until I can start with a clean install on a *nix replacement server.
