[tlug] Postfix was mail server

["James Cluff" <jc@example.com>]

Ok I am installing postfix thank you all for your advise.

It was already installed with Redhat by default as I mentioned.

I am trying to get it set up on a local network without qualified domain
name.

I have disabled domain name lookups.

Case1
if I send mail to myself just as james of course it recognizes I am a local
user and sends the mail through.

case2
If I try to send mail to james@example.com it sends fine, but is never
recieved.  I look in the log files and it says
relay=192...[192...],delay=1, status=bounced (mail for 192... loops back to
myself)

case3
if I send mail to james@example.com it says host not found try
again, which I guess I should expect because it can't resolve the name.


So in order to be able to test just internal mail I would like to get case2
working It seems like I should be able to send mail james@example.com to myself
without the loop back error.  If I send from another machine I get the same
loopbak error.

Obviously I screwed up but don't know where has anyone experienced this?
