Hi,

Could you paste the contents of main.cf ? I have been using postfix..... but after the job change, have forgotten the entries......

Your problem seems to be a simple config issue....... by going thru the main.cf file I would be able to help

Regards

check the mydestination entry in the /etc/postfix/main.cf

It would help if you posted some more info.
e.g Are you using an external smarthost or connecting directly?
Are you using any special tables?
Anything else that might be relevant...

Are your firewall(s) (hardware/software) configured to allow smtp traffic to port 25.

# iptables -L | grep smtp

As long as you don't have an entry for "ACCEPT all", you should see an entry to specifically
allow smtp traffic. If you don't see any entries like this then you are blocking:

ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:smtp

Also what happens if you just send mail to "user", not "user@mydomain.com"?
There is a difference...
