Postfix + Amavisd-new + MTA + other postoffice
I was able to quickly create a box with Postfix + Amavisd-new +
SpamAssassin and it checked with local mail and within a lab test
network. Now I want to take it live in an unusual situation. I need
help figuring out the configuration.
Local mail is delivered to a Novell GroupWise system and has its own
domain name. As a start, I've set the filter box to have a public
address and name too. If I test a message from filter-box to mail-box,
the message goes throught the filter nicely and ends in the GroupWise
post.
What does not work is sending mail from outside to the public
filter-box address. In that case, mail gets filtered, but I get a loop
when trying to send it on to the mail-box. Below is a sample of the
mail.log I get when I post a message to me from the outside. The mail
was of the form me@filter.my.domain:

It might be relevant to know that MX records are field for
mail.my.domain and my.domain. I thought I could keep this the way it is
until I got the postfix config right.
I hope you see my silly ways straight way.
