Hold on: loopback.mydomain is another machine, isn't it? Then it needs to have an MX entry in the DNS server. I think you might be able to trick postfix to send to it without that requirement, but you need to write the IP number on the postfix configuration file somewhere - not sure about this. [...] Ah, read this, it applies to you: # On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your # internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet # gateway host instead. # # In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port, # [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups. # If you specify multiple SMTP destinations, Postfix will try them # in the specified order. # # relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress]
in the warn logfile there appear (only sometimes) messages like this:
5 15:13:43 nfspdt2 postfix/smtp[11038]: warning: host loopback.mydomain[127.0.0.1] greeted me with my own hostname nfspdt2.mydomain Mar 5 15:13:43 nfspdt2 postfix/smtp[11038]: warning: host loopback.mydomain[127.0.0.1] replied to HELO/EHLO with my own hostname nfspdt2.mydomain
Weird. Perhaps you have copied the configuration from one computer to the other: if so, change its domain name (/etc/postfix/main.cf): myhostname = telperion.valinor Make sure you set the computer name in yast, network configuration, different for both. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
