Hi lee,


Your advice solves my pending problem.  Thanks.


I'm following this howto;

http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/edition5.html

building postfix virtual which is my goal.  This is my 5th round.  All
previous tests failed (following other howto NOT relating to this
howto).

The above advice works seamlessly.  Incoming mails arrive.


Made following tests;


1)
Sent a mail on Gmail to satimis@satimis.com.  Mail arrived, being
delivered to /var/spool/mail/satimis file

It also arrived, being added on the same file /var/spool/mail/satimis
again.


I have no idea what does it refer to on following link;

http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/help/satimis.com.html


Postgrey is running on this box.


3)
Again sent another mail on Gmail to satimis@satimis.com.  It also
arrived being added to /var/spool/mail/satimis file


Problem solved.


Others noted with thanks.


Now how can I make the 1st incoming mail creating subdirectoris /cur
/new etc automatically.  TIA
