Postfix issues - Local delivery okay, no virtual: or maildrop: transport.


Hello all,

I've recently installed postfix on my server along with courier-IMAP and maildrop per a HOWTO I found [HREF=http://www.phparchitecture.com/howot_show.php?id=2]here[/HREF]. I've managed to get the software up and running, but there's a problem somewhere in my configuration that is preventing the server from delivering mail to users using the maildrop utility. When I switch the destination field in the postfix_transport mysql table to local:, postfix will deliver mail it receives just fine to the local users. I've double check everything against the howto, but this is my first go round with postfix and maildrop so I really have no clue whether that's right in the first place.

Also, I've noticed that while I can send email to and from my local accounts and back and forth to my webmail accounts (specifically gmail.com), aol.com will not accept email from my server. Hotmail will not either, however hotmail.com was kind enough to inform me that because I am testing from a dynamic DNS server instead of a static IP, it will not accept my traffic. Is there a way to get the major webmail providers to recognize that my server is a legitimate corporate e-mail server and not some two-bit spam factory? Or will my solution have to be a static IP address/registered domain?
