If you take the transport_maps solution, then you need to set up a relay-recipient_maps table with the addresses of valid recipients, as documented in http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall If you believe that Sendmail was able to guess the addresses of your local users, then I can assure you that it can't. More likely, Sendmail was accepting all kinds of garbage from the Internet, and your Sendmail queue was full of MAILER-DAEMON messages all around the clock. We cannot make that same mistake with Postfix (if we did then you might just as well have stayed with Sendmail). Wietse
