using postfix able to send out emails to yahoo accounts but not our own company email


Hi All,

I'm totally new to SUSE Linux. Using SUSE Enterprise Server 9. Postfix version is 2.1.1

Here's the problem. I'm able to sent emails to yahoo, gmail, and hotmail accounts but unable to sent emails to my own company email address. Please help...

For example: If I sent an email to my self at tim@abcdefg.com

in mail log it shows:

Nov 11 18:11:08 suse postfix/cleanup[16823]: CEE0C105340: message-id=<491A3B3C.mailCZ81FIAWJ@suse.abcdefg.com>
Nov 11 18:11:08 suse postfix/qmgr[16819]: CEE0C105340: from=<root@abcdefg.com>, size=446, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Nov 11 18:11:19 suse postfix/pickup[16818]: E72F6105349: uid=0 from=<root>
Nov 11 18:11:19 suse postfix/cleanup[16823]: E72F6105349: message-id=<491A3B47.mailCZG12STVB@suse.abcdefg.com>
Nov 11 18:11:19 suse postfix/qmgr[16819]: E72F6105349: from=<root@abcdefg.com>, size=454, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Nov 11 18:11:19 suse postfix/local[16831]: E72F6105349: to=<tim@abcdefg.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (unknown user: "tim")




here's my postfix -n:

well that's because you are saying that YOU are your companies mail server. the mail is already where it's meant to go according to your configs, and there's no local user to match it up with. Can you explain more about your architecture here? Is this a satellite site? How does it relate to your genuine main email server.

Hi acid_kewpie, let me clearfy a little. I'm not our company's mail server. The purpose of setting up this machine is to run some regression tests and once the tests are done then it'll sent an email as notification.

Our company uses Kerio mail server. Everything located in the same facility. This SUSE Linux is on a VM running off one of the lab machines. Do I need to setup the realyhost? please let me know. Thanks.
