I know that my thrashing around will not have helped, but I needed a pointer as to where to start looking in a more organised fashion. :-) > Include postconf -n and relevant logs for more constructive help. postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man masquerade_domains = $mydomain mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, lydgate.lan mydomain = lydgate.net myhostname = tosh.lydgate.net mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.7.3/README_FILES relayhost = smtp:[192.168.0.40] sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.7.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 /etc/aliases has the normal root alias to send things to me - one of my "thrashings" was to try putting a postfix/aliases file that would use my local address instead. Since it didn't work, I'll revert that. I have compared the config with that on the server box, but of course there will be some things that shouldn't be the same - and that's probably part of the problem.

First, whenever I did a postfix restart I was told that the stop failed, but the start succeeded. This seems wrong to me, but I don't know enough to know why or whether it runs only when called. Second - the problem appears to be connected with "localhost". In the past I always used to rewrite hosts, with a separate line tying a fixed IP to the box. On the laptop I was using dhcp, so couldn't do that. To test this theory I changed the laptop to static IP and rebooted.
