Postfix bouncing - xDamox - 2008-02-18
Hello,
I have recently tried to setup a Postfix machine but every time I try and send an email to the server it bounces:
Code:

mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
Postfix is also very good at fighting spam without the need for different programs/scripts. Use the following in your config to use RBLs:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,
permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,
reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
permit
You can also do header checks and a whole host of other things. It can do lots of cool stuff.
:P

Hello magikman,
I found the problem, the mydestination directive was declared twice.. It was sneakily placed at the bottom of the main.cf file.
