yes, as i said early, i do have transport_maps which will relay my
example.net to another mail server. But now i has taken out, even my
own server domain which is example.com also have the loops back for
myself bounce.

These server shouldnt have any mailbox cause is a mail gateway, so i
follow the null client guide. But i do wish to have mail to root
locally, unfortunately i keep having the loops back to myself error.

mynetworks is open because the filter will be done on the firewall,
and the firewall ppl request me not to block the network.

I currently using postfix 2.3.3, i believe is a supported version for
the null client settings.

I do google for solution but no luck, thats why i post here for help...

Regards,
Teh

Please stop "top posting".

Who are these "firewall ppl" and why are they claiming you would be
blocking the firewall by configuring Postfix correctly?

You need to fix the problem with accepting the entire internet into your trusted networks. Having 0.0.0.0/0 in mynetworks is not smart, and if technical people are telling you to do this, then you should find some better technical people.

Who are your technical (firewall ppl)? What is the external IP address of their firewall?

For mail gateways, use the Postfix email firewall/gateway configuration:

http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall

DO NOT use the null client for this.

The mynetworks parameter MUST list ONLY the "inside" networks,
otherwise your Postfix server will forward mail FROM anywhere TO
anywhere, and the machine will be blacklisted.

I follow link above which now i enable as postfix gateway. I never
enable any transport because i never want to relay incoming mail to
redirect to any smtp. So i follow the link, disable local delivery,
and add these in virtual_alias_maps

1 /etc/postfix/main.cf:
2 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
3
4 /etc/postfix/virtual:
5 root root(a)localhost
6 . . .

i test send email to root(a)localhost

mail root(a)localhost < TLS_LICENSE, do the have bounced
