Hoping to get some guidance for resolving a relay problem.
Trying to setup postfix so that incoming email is relayed to the
alias "test" listed in the /etc/aliases. Want all mail to be
relayed to other accounts/users, ie gmail, yahoo, $mydomain
postconf -n output below. hostname/domain: altman.bu.edu
/etc/aliases --- ran newaliases several times
test: mfitz...@bu.edu, mfitzpa...@gmail.com
The user, test, does exist on the system, just as an alias entry.
If I send email from mfitzpat.bu.edu to t...@altman.bu.edu =
email is relayed/received at both x.bu.edu and x.gmail.com
If I send email from mfitzpat11.gmail.com to t...@altman.bu.edu =
email is only received at x.bu.edu account
Output from maillog says email is sent/relayed to gmail, but it is
never delivered... goes into a black hole... does not bounce back etc.
Gmail suppresses duplicate messages. As far as I know that behavior
isn't configurable.
At any rate, postfix is properly delivering the mail, so no changes
to postfix are necessary. If you want to pursue this further,
you'll need to ask google where you mail went.
