Found the sticky problem. There was a commented out line in “mydestination”
that continued to a second line, and that second line was not commented out.
like this…
#mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain,
mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain
Fixed, and now on to the next step
thanks for the pointers everyone. Most helpful.
