Hi Viktor, all, By a detailed and systematic search into my main.cf, I have found out that I had a stale alias_maps setting somewhere in the bushes amidst the comments and other settings. The first setting in the file was the correct setting (doing the mailman job) and the second one was the stale one, which remained valid in the runtime of the local process. I appologize for the confusion.
Things work well now. However, without your advice on local.invalid destination it would never work and it would be quite a hard time for me to figure that out. Thank you very much. And, yes, I already have some experience with MTAs: I did a complete and successful installation, and for years I'd done maintenance and all the rest, of the qmail system; I may say that I like Postfix more and I would like to thank you for that great job you did for us. Good luck Kajetan 2013/4/1 Viktor Dukhovni <postfix-us...@dukhovni.org> > On Mon, Apr 01, 2013 at 03:16:17PM +0200, Kajetan Dolinar wrote: > > > > Thanks for your answers.
