Hello ...
I'm running postfix 2.2 on a linux box (mandriva 2006) in
testing mode, ... my old mail server is an old solaris box.
I created a .forward file that send my emails from the old
solaris box, to the new linux box. I sent to solaris an email
from an outside account (hotmail), but it doesn't reach the
linux box.. today I received a message in hotmail account:

I have been googling the message :

"mail for localhost loops back to myself"

but ... without success ...

Any idea ?
