Dear list,

Here is a very urgent problem with **relay** in my postfix.

My postfix is allowed to relay a particular domain. I have put the
configuration as

````````````````````````````````
relay_domains = < domian_name allowed to relay>
`````````````````````````````````````

I maintain a text file /etc/postfix/virtual as a source of all my user
aliases.
I have done " postmap /etc/postfix/virtual" to generate the hash file.
Here is my config in main.cf

```````````````
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
```````````````````````````

To activate the map I have restarted the postfix as usual.

If I check the mapping with " postmap -q <username><domain_name>
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual " it reports back its aliases.
Even from server If I send mail to a aliases it forwarded to its actual
destination perfectly.

But If I send mail from another mail server to any of these aliases it
is not forwarded. Should I always send mail from my own server to get
the aliases working correctly ? then waht is the use of relay domain.
I am really very very confused. Please enlighten me.

thanks
