As such it should not be mentioned as a local domain. Just leave it out completely and it will be treated as any other non-local domain. The local domains are the domains that you own and which are hosted by your machine. If you send a message to someoneelse@twmi.rr.com you want it to be handed off to one of the MX handlers for twmi.rr.com. You don't want to try and deliver it locally. You also do not want to mention it as a domain you are relaying for because there are no MX records for that domain which list your host as a server. | The following configuration has been entered: | | ============================================================================== | Mail generated on this system will have `tacocat.net' used | as the domain part (after the @) in the From: field and similar places. | | The following domain(s) will be recognised as referring to this system: | localhost, tacocat.net, twmi.rr.com | Local mail is delivered.
