Postfix question


my server will deliver my internet mail addressed to

david@piuussdhsh7866252532532.al.comcast.net

but if it's addressed to david@111.111.111.111

I get this

status=bounced (mail for 111.111.111.111 loops back to myself)


so I somehow need to map the ipaddress to the name.


because I want to use the ip as my email address

this line in /etc/postfix/main.cf fixed it...



#
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, 111.111.111.111


it was trying to relay the ip because it was not designated as a final destination.
