What is the address class of the "$myorigin" domain?  If "$myorigin"
is the same as "$mydomain", then it is a virtual alias domain, so the

to be rewritten out of the domain.

That remark let me reconsider my choices which took a longer time.

$mydomain is a virtual alias domain for historical reasons. When i switched from exim 4 some 10 years ago, i did so, and it worked and still works on my „old“ mail system. I was the main user of $mydomain, and there was no need to separate between qno@$myhostname and qno@$mydomain. In virtual_alias_maps, qno@mydomain is redirected to local system user qno. And as it worked, i had no reason to reconsider antil now, when it does NOT work on the new system.

But perhaps the whole construction is wrong. Perhaps i should configure $myhostname as a null client instance. And $mydomain as a virtual_mailbox_domain. I already host another virtual_mailbox_domain that works when it is not commented out :-)

So i will give it a try. I keep your comments about $myorigin=$mydomain in mind.

Kind regards,
QNo
