I don't know what more to tell you; it works here and I don't think that section of code has been changed in forever. Check your "postconf -n" output to make sure you're really using the file. Make sure you're seeing log entries from the postfix/smtpd process in your log file; each postfix process logs independently. Works here: # postconf mail_version mail_version = 2.9-20111127 # postconf relay_recipient_maps relay_recipient_maps = hash:$mapdir/relay_recipient # postmap hash:/etc/postfix/maps/relay_recipient Dec 19 14:31:30 mgate3 postfix/smtpd[22570]: table hash:/etc/postfix/maps/relay_recipient(0,lock|fold_fix) has changed -- restarting -- Noel Jones
