Although I have the alias defined in /etc/aliases and /etc/postfix/aliases, I'm not receiving root mail. Following the previous thread about unreceived logwatch mail, I tested with a manual run of logwatch, and found that my ISP is rejecting the mail because it is seeing an envelope carrying my local address. My suspicion is that the mail is going out via sendmail instead of postfix-sendmail. IIRC there used to be system-switch-mail or a similarly named package. I can't find any such package - and can't remember which file it edited. Can someone please point me to that file?

(in reply to RCPT TO command)It looks like your outgoing mail from your local user(s) needs to be masqueraded or the whole server does.

(in reply to RCPT TO command)Once your email is out on the Internet is needs a genuine Internet email address. xxx.lan is known only to your internal system and it is not an Internet email address. Care to show the headers of your outgoing email ? (cover-up the bits you want to keep private) -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.
