Topic: Can not send root emails to locahost, would like to know how to

Hi there,

I have got rid of all the root going to www@mydomain.com just as an example, however it is now triggering the following error:

May  3 09:30:21 server postfix/local[16117]: 564783A6474: to=<root@server.mydomain.co.uk>, relay=local, delay=535, delays=535/0.03/0/0.02, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)

What I was wanting it to do, is using locahost not server.mydomain.co.uk. or is there another option to get this working?

This is the contents of my aliases file '/etc/postfix/aliases':

#

#  Mail, but WILL be visible over networks or from /bin/mail.

Is there anyway of getting roots emails going to the usual mailbox for the root user i.e. '/var/spool/mail'

Hope this is doable, thanks again,
Jez.

Re: Can not send root emails to locahost, would like to know how to

/etc/postfix/aliases looks fine. Did you execute command "postalias /etc/postfix/aliases" after modifying it?

Also, what's your server hostname? And what's the value of postfix setting "myhostname="? Postfix will send to "root@[YOUR_SERVER_HOSTNAME]" by default.

I did run the command to reload the aliases, or it wouldn't appear to have the deffered message.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this problem?

I have even tried adding server.mydomain.com to my DNS records but nothing works, any helps appreciated.

What's the log message before and after this line?
