Hello
I have postfix setup as an MTA and it's only doing the sending.
It's set up to allow some hosts to relay emails to the outside world.

The hostname of the postfix, let's say is post.can.com
And there's a local user named john on this box
John's email john@can.com is hosted at google mail

The issue is that when the host tries to send mail to say john@can.com, instead of sending to John's google email, it sends locally.


Postfix Configuration:

Is there a way to make it prevent sending this locally and have it use the mx record for the domain so it can be sent to google mail?

I've tried removing $mydomain from mydestination but it would reject relaying from allowed hosts.

Hi,

I'm not a postfix expert, but I think it can be done using transport maps.
Add in main.cf (if not already there) the line:
Open/edit the file /etc/postfix/transport and use:
Of course you should use the appropriate google smtp server above. If you want this to happen for all your users, then omit the "john@" part.

An finally rebuild transport_maps and reload postfix:

That worked, thanks!
