    Weird Postfix Issue

    Hello All,

    I have configured postfix to relay to Gmail's SMTP. It looks like everything is configured properly however whenever I send a mail using "sendmail -bv malaphus<at>realdomain.com" I get the message in my local mailbox instead of on the remote host. Here is the output of my postfix mail.log:

    Code:
    Sep 25 11:59:26 ubuntuvm postfix/pickup[4158]: E90801415FA: uid=1000 from=<malaphus>
    Sep 25 11:59:26 ubuntuvm postfix/cleanup[4256]: E90801415FA: message-id=<20110925155926.E90801415FA<at>localhost.localdomain>

    Sep 25 11:59:28 ubuntuvm postfix/qmgr[4159]: 2F299140F4D: removed

    I replaced my own host.domain with localhost.localdomain for security reasons, it's really "myhostname.mydomain.com". The forum also made me replace <at> symbols since I don't have 15+ posts yet, arg.

    Anyone have any idea why the message would be coming back to me on the local box instead of being delivered to the remote recipient?

    Thanks in advance

    Nevermind!

    Nevermind. I should have read what the -bv argument did before posting.
