i followed

Scalix/Sendmail & Amavisd-New HOWTO - Updated and i must say it works!

but i have a problem mail is being send out to the internet for localusers !?
can't i just deliver it localy ?

sendmail must know that user@mydomain.foo is located at 127.0.0.1...

thank you

You need to add mydomain.foo to /etc/mail/local-host-names and restart sendmail.

Some obvious questions:

Are you trying to deliver to a Scalix user or a UNIX mailbox?

If the former then a Scalix user with internet address juan@mydomain.foo must exist, if the latter a UNIX username juan.

The errors you're getting don't look like they're amavisd-related but you can easily check this by commenting out the

Code: Select all

SMTPFILTER=TRUE


line from smtpd.cfg and restarting the smtp relay with:

Code: Select all

omoff -d0 smtpd && omon smtpd


Try repeating your tests after this and see what happens.

I suggested commenting (or removing) that line, then restarting the smtp relay to eliminate amavisd from your enquiries.

But before you do that yes, add a Scalix user and try sending a mail to that user. Be sure to make a note of what SAC autogenerates as the email address if you're adding the user that way.
