Yes he does.. FQDN Fully Qualified Domain Name..

http://www.nwtools.com/default.asp?p...st=3gxlive.com

Also the output of his postconf -n is here..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=186776


the message at the end of your logs is a definate flag..
Quote:
warning: do not list domain 3gxlive.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_m$
Since you are using a virtual domain configuration I think you need to verify the settings needed for mydestination.. I think it's trying to tell you since you are runnign a virtual domain system that your domain info for destinations would be in either the standard config or the virtual config but not both..

I am unfamiliar with vhcs so I don't know how much help I can provide..

Please post the output of the following:
Code:
postconf myhostname mydomain myorigin mydestination relayhost
Also, run the following and post log output:
Code:
sendmail user@somewhere.com < /etc/fstab && tail -f /var/log/maillog
Change the following values if needed:
user@somewhere.com should be a real external email
/etc/fstab is just a file to email, can be any real file
/var/log/maillog is where postfix logs messages
