Hello
If I use the command
# mail -v name(a)domain.com I get the folloing
Mail delivery status report will be mailed to <root>
But then I get MAILER-DAEMON (mail transport unavailable)

Using FreeBSD 7.2
Postfix 2.6.5
And second instance running

Thanks in advance
_ Motty

Thanks for pointing that out Victor, does not justify that I'm newbie,
please accept my apologies.
I'm in the command prompt of the spam filter I finished building using
FreeBSD 7.2 and Postfix 2.6.5 and I want to send email to myself
motty(a)domain.com so I type the following in the command prompt

Filter # mail -v motty(a)domain.com
Subject: test postfix conf
debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1

..
EOT
Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.
Filter # mailq

A4051B898 1938 Tue Feb 23 09:01:54 MAILER-DAEMON

unavailable)
root(a)domain.com

Third item from http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail:

Postfix logging. See the text at the top of the DEBUG_README document
to find out where logging is stored. Please do not frustrate the
helpers by word wrapping the logging.

Find and post the log entries for this ( A4051B898 ) queue-id, repost
the log entries and your configuration setings together in one message.

You seem to have multiple Postfix instances, make sure you are posting
configuration information for the right one... Was "MAIL_CONFIG"
set in the environment when you were running the mail(1) command in
question?

> anvil_rate_time_unit = 20s

Why?

> content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

Is an "smtp-amavis" transport defined in master.cf?

> local_transport = no local mail delivery

There's your problem. This is nonsense.

> mydestination = domain.com,

Especially when you configure your domain for local delivery.

Please use example.com for examples. Example.TLD is reserved for
examples in every top-level domain. However, it's possible that
munging your domain name will make it impossible for others to
assist in solving your mail routing issues.

In addition to what Victor said, I would point out that your
mail(1)/mailx(1) client is probably not making any network
connections. The debug_peer_list is not relevant for sendmail(1)
submission.
