Mail is looping back

Hi,

I'm having some strange things going on my email server.
I have my own domain, alitrix.nl
Which includes IMAP (dovecot) and postfix (smpt and the relay part).

With fetchmail I login on some POP3 accounts and get the mails and put them in the IMAP mailbox of my own home-dir (so I have a "central" place for my mail)
Everything works fine, until here.

With /etc/procmailrc I check the mail headers and put the mail in the correct directory.


I've installed Thunderbird and configured my IMAP server.
I added identies into Thunderbird, so I can send as alitrix@alitrix.nl, postfix@alitrix.nl, etc. etc. With the same IMAP account.

The strange part is, for some reason my email is looping back as well

This is what I do
alitrix@gmail.com receives the email, just like it should.
Raw email:
Code:

What could be the reason for the loopback?
Did I miss something in the configuration?

If you need too see any other configuration, please tell me.

What does you mail log file show during the delivery cycle?

Edit - can you put a couple of line breaks in your first code section so the page automatically narrows?

Well, this part:
Oct 17 23:40:36 r1k7s19 postfix/local[9715]: 6516F45827A: to=<alitrix@r1k7s19.kdiss.com>, orig_to=<alitrix@alitrix.nl>, relay=local, delay=30, delays=15/0.01/0/15,
dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION")

Doesn't look good. Why if the From-address = alitrix@alitrix.nl, it gets back to the server? (r1k7s19.kdiss.com = servername + host)
I didn't understand that part.

Can you show ALL the relevant parts of the log.

That would be from 23:40:21 to after 23:40:36 at least

What is kdiss.com?

Are you sure you don't have any forwards in gmail?

Are any of your aliases applicable?

Can you post "postconf -n" please

I'm expecting you have an aliase of

alitrix@alitrix.com: alitrix@r1k7s19.kdiss.com

What else is in there?

Again, are you sure you don't have any forwards set in gmail?

That's all I have, I dont have any other aliases nor alias files.
I only put them in that table if I need any alias/forward.

I checked my gmail, I dont have a forward there as well.
I think it's the alias-table that is getting used, but I dont understand why postfix is doing a check on the From-address?
Doesn't sound logic to me, cause this way the email is looping and then it loops that mail and that mail, etc.

See /etc/aliases.

I agree - something is weird.

# cat /etc/aliases
Code:
# Added by installer for initial user
root: serveradmin
Nothing special inside

I've monitored the queries, check this:
Sending mail to alitrix...@hotmail.com
Code:
081018 13:09:59   78473 Connect     postfix@localhost on postfix
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrix.nl'
                  78474 Connect     postfix@localhost on postfix
                  78474 Query       SELECT domain AS virtual FROM domain WHERE domain='alitrix.nl'
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='hotmail.com'
                  78474 Query       SELECT domain AS virtual FROM domain WHERE domain='hotmail.com'
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrixxxx@hotmail.com'
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='@hotmail.com'
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrixxxx@hotmail.com'
                  78473 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='@hotmail.com'
The mail looping back
Code:
081018 13:10:14   78475 Connect     postfix@localhost on postfix
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrixxxx@hotmail.com'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='@hotmail.com'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrix@alitrix.nl'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrix@r1k7s19.kdiss.com'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='alitrix'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='@r1k7s19.kdiss.com'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='hotmail.com'
                  78476 Connect     postfix@localhost on postfix
                  78476 Query       SELECT domain AS virtual FROM domain WHERE domain='hotmail.com'
                  78475 Query       SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='r1k7s19.kdiss.com'
                  78476 Query       SELECT domain AS virtual FROM domain WHERE domain='r1k7s19.kdiss.com'
You see, the first time it's doing a check on alitrix.nl, but it's a From-address.
Really strange...

I'll have a look later in the day if you don't hear anything.

What is the intention of the virtual forwardings? I don't use SQL tables, but it looks to me like you are copying anything to altrix.nl to altrix (which I assume is a valid user on your domain - the kdiss one)
