As I said, my configuration seems to work fine, but I'm still puzzled by several settings, including this one. I have set mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain which seems to cover everything: on my server, mydomain is gayleard.eu and my hostname is alfred.gayleard.ue All the email I get contains headers like ---------------------------------------- Delivered-To: tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Received: from localhost (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) by alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF4C622D57 for <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:15:24 +0200 (CEST) Received: from alfred.gayleard.eu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) FrqMz92sTpCb for <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:15:02 +0200 (CEST) Received: from alfred.gayleard.eu (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) by alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix) with ESMTP id ---------------------------------------- Which of these describes where "mail is sent to"? I actually get all my email by fetchmail from various mail servers. None of my mail is addressed by the sender to "*.gayleard.eu". So it seems to me these headers must be added by postfix or possibly by fetchmail. But if postfix has added these headers it doesn't seem to make sense for postfix to ask if *.gayleard.eu is "mydestination". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
