I think you are confusing $relayhost with $relay_domains; the former is null by default while the latter, for compatibility with older releases, is set to $mydestination. Typically, you should also set $relay_domains to null. Search the mailing list for previous discussions on this topic. To see what Postfix "auto assumes" see the output of 'postfonf -d'. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net>
