Hi,

I setup some relay domains and transports. Sending from external to the mailboxes is fine but when I send from the mailbox to a different domain on the same mailserver pmg doesn't relay back to the internal server. The internal mail server is configured to send all mails to pmg instead of dropping directly to the mailbox (For spam and virus check)

Code:
Jan 24 14:24:12 mx2 postfix/smtpd[1100514]: connect from INTERNALMAILSERVER[IPv6]
Jan 24 14:24:12 mx2 postfix/smtpd[1100514]: NOQUEUE: client=INTERNALMAILSERVER[IPv6]

I don't understand this line

Code:
Jan 24 14:24:18 mx2 postfix/smtp[1100534]: 3886741338: to=<otheruser@DOMAINB>, relay=none, delay=0.08, delays=0.02/0.02/0.05/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=DOMAINB type=AAAA: Host not found)

Postfix shouldn't lookup AAAA Record for DOMAINB. In transports there is DOMAINB listed with INTERNALMAILSERVER. Also the transport file must be right because mails from external servers works well.

EDIT: there was a typing error on the internal server in the alias map. So no problem with pmg. Sometime it is better to look double time on the domain and mailbox names.
