I suppose in that case I'd prefer to name the file "domains_COMPANYNAME" or something, to avoid confusion with domains that are local to the server. Perhaps a matter of personal opinion, though. >>> and the relay_transport is the IP of Server B: >> >> In your config snippet from server A, the parameter $relay_transport >> doesn't contain the IP address of server B, but the FQDN of server A. >> Unless you mis-obfuscated the parameter value you need to correct that >> line. > > But why?!? > > It seems to work with the FQDN in square brackets: > > relay_transport = smtp:[mail.example.com] It should work if the FQDN is the FQDN of server B. It shouldn't work if the FQDN is the FQDN of server A (which was the case in your config snippet). >>> I would like to let already Server A bounce those mails! >> >> # Server A >> mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost >> relay_domains = /etc/postfix/relay_domains >> alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases >> local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps >> relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients > > Der default, that seems to be quite similar already: > > postconf | egrep "^(alias_maps|local_recipient_maps)" > alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases > local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps > > I can locally expand now, with your suggestion for $mydestination :) The default includes all local users of the machine, which probably is not what you want, considering the machine's purpose. >> The postconf man-page [1] isn't too clear about this, but I think you >> need to specify full addresses (us...@example.com OK).
