A minor email problem

[Jerry Feldman-2]

Over the weekend I upgraded my system to OpenSuSE 11.0 from OpenSuSE
10.3. I have most of my config files saved, so I copied
my /etc/postfix/main.cf and set up my sasl password for Comcast as my
relay host. No problem. (Except that claws mail didn't work for a few
days unrelated to this). But now, my system is treating all
<name>@blu.org as being on localhost. I've had a similar setup for
years treating my system as gaf.blu.org. Looks like there is some
parameter in postfix that I failed to set or have set incorrectly, so
I'm just looking for a possible clue.

I'm also frazzled at work. I have 7 new servers, and they don't take
the new memories we bought for them. All are Supermicro X7DB8+ boards.
The old memory was 4 1GB chips, the new memory is 4 4GB chips. We made
sure that we bought memories that have been tested by Supermicro. One
thing I will be testing today is a new BIOS.

Is blu.org included within the mydestination variable?  This defines which
domains are local to your system.

myhostname = gaf.blu.org
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,$mydomain
                                                                                            ^^^^^^
Thanks. I don't know how the $mydomain got back into main.cf as the
line in my saved configuration is:
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain

In any case, problem solved.
