How can I  use command line 'mail' to send to local mailboxes AND internet addresses

Asked by blokeman in SendMail Email Server, Linux Networking, SuSE Linux

Tags: ,

I am using Postfix on Suse Linux.
I want to be able to send mail to both internet users and local linux mailboxes (root)

In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have set mydomain to our domain name and can send email to internet users OK.  But if I try to mail root, /var/log/mail shows that it is trying to send to root@domainname.com.au, which bounces with the expected error "Recipient unknown".

How can postfix be configured to allow mail to send to local accounts and internet email addresses at the same?Start Free Trial
