mydomain is not set to anything at the moment in main.cf All comments that refer to mydomain are commented out # The mydomain parameter specifies the local internet domain name. # $mydomain is used as a default value for many other configuration #mydomain = domain.tld # machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up #myorigin = $mydomain # The default is $myhostname + localhost.$mydomain. On a mail domain # gateway, you should also include $mydomain. #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, # mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain #relayhost = $mydomain It is certainly not set up to localhost.com grep localhost.com /etc/postfix/main.cf BLANK ZIP Should I set it? How does that change my otherwise working configuration which handles mail for 4 domains. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
