[SGVLUG] [LiLAX] Postfix Rejections

[Solomon K. Chang]

I feel silly.  It was as follows...

Change the following line in the Postfix config (main.cf) from:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

To:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain


...and suddenly I'm receiving mail.

Apparently, "mydestination" refers to which server this is receiving mail for.  This includes the domain itself, sans hostname.
