Well, when you get the issue of mail loops back to myself, this means that your DNS is setup to send the mail to a machine which is not setup to accept the mail. What you need to do is make sure that postfix is setup to accept mail for ninja.amphex.com. You have provided this info. mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $ninja.mydomain, $mydomain Postfix will accept mail for any sub domain for $mydomain. I am assuming that $mydomain is equal to amphex.com. If it is not, then you may want to add that. Your configuration may have a problem in the mydestination. you have entered $ninja.mydomain, but what should be there is ninja.$mydomain. The Dollar Sign is in the wrong spot. Not sure if you have just mistyped it in this email. Frank A. > > Hi. > > I'm running a Postfix mail-gateway.
