Hi all,

I obviously have an configuration error on my backup MX, but can't sort it out 
alone.

I use two mailservers, one primary MX and a secondary MX which relays messages 
to the primary.

A cron job on eara now generated a mail to root, which should be sent to 
m...@roland-ramthun.de.

This doesn't happen, instead postfix logs the fatal configuration error below.

I think the configuration error is misleading, what could the real problem be?
Can or should the message be fixed?

Thanks for your help,
Roland
