Yes, I do:
# This is the aliases file - it says who gets mail for whom.
# It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package
# distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator.
# This file originally generated by eximconfig at Mon Jun 26 19:00:46 EDT 2000
# See exim info section for details of the things that can be configured here.
postmaster: root
root: ssahmed
daemon: root
bin: root
sys: root
sync: root
[snipped]
I still can't understand why email to root@localhost and
postmaster@localhost is relayed to my ISP. Here is the text of the

/etc/hostname on my system contains "phoenix". Output of "postconf -n"
is :
@phoenix:[/home/ssahmed] postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10

local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
myhostname = phoenix
myorigin = phoenix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
relayhost = smtp.pathcom.com
Can anyone spot the problem ?
Thanks.
