Mail loops with postfix

Hi,

I configured postfix to listen on port 25 on the external interface and forward all mail for the domains in /etc/postfix/transport to the scalix SMTP listener on port 10027 localhost.

This works for recipients that exist in scalix. With non existent users the mail gets back from scalix to postfix and again back to scalix an so on until the mail bounces with "Too many hops".

How can I configure the scalix SMTP listener to reject the mail and not send it back to postfix?

I think I should do a ldap lookup with postfix for a valid email adress, but I dont know how to do this.

Many thanks!

Klaus

Do you have an enu configured? omconfenu

This user is supposed to receive any mail for unknown email accounts.

Have you checked that you have your local server domain configured in the smtpd.cfg file?
