[Mailman-Users] Unable to receive email on same domain

[Caesar Samsi]

Hmm … what I have implemented in Postfix are virtual domains such that 

caesar at xyz.com <mailto:caesar at xyz.com> has a mailbox on yugi.us <http://yugi.us/> and yugi.us <http://yugi.us/> is the mail server for xyz.com <http://xyz.com/> domain

caesar at xyz.com <mailto:caesar at xyz.com> goes to yugi.us <http://yugi.us/> with IMAP to pick up mail.

Postfix implements the alias lookup with mysql tables, but in the case of @yugi.us <http://yugi.us/> addresses somehow it defers to the virtual_alias_domain

or it might just be a need to reverse the lookup order, i.e. to lookup aliases in virtual_alias_domains file last

I suppose this might be a Postfix virtual domain question vs. Mailman.

Thank you, Caesar.
