Hi,

Postfix seems happy with mail addressed to root@ and postmaster@. Is
"test" a valid user on the system and/or have you added them to
/etc/postfix/aliases (then ran "newaliases" and "postfix reload")?

I recently made the mistake of thinking my aliases file was /etc/aliases
and messed around with that for ages trying to fix something, but it was
actually set to /etc/postfix/aliases in my main.cf file (have a look for
"alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases").

What about mail to valid users, can you receive them OK (I tried ketil@
but that was not accepted)?
