Sending mail *FROM* your server to the world means that the recipient is in some other domain, not yours. You said it, not I. -- Yes and this works. This is not an issue. Which I also said. > >> Sending mail to the server from the world outside results in 5.1.1 > >> <xxxx@xxxx>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay > >> recipient table. Sending mail from outside *TO* your server, means that the recipient is in your domain, not someone else's. You said it, not I. -- Yes I am completely aware of this. If I send mail from my laptop (using mail address a) to mail address b (on the problem server) which is in a domain I am authorative for results in the error message. However if I am logged into the problem server using imap then sending mail from mail address c (on the problem server) which is in a domain I am authorative to mail address b works - meaning it can actually resolve the address and am able to find the address in the recipient table. /Martin S 2015-06-15 15:26 GMT+02:00 Viktor Dukhovni <postfix-us...@dukhovni.org>: > On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 03:20:35PM +0200, Martin S wrote: > >> OK maybe I was unclear. > > Or you're still confused or both. > >> I am talking about a site that I am authorative for.
