I'll have to read up on this later, I guess. Thanks for pointing
this out.

Certainly not to be argumentative, but my "hostname" on my system is
"linux", and the domain name is listed by Yast as "local".
If this is a problem, then why am I able to send and receive as
<racsw@frontiernet.net> with no squawks by Postfix concerning MX not
found?
Taking your suggestion nevertheless, I really don't know what I should
actually put in there. Should I list <racsw@linux.local> and
<myprivateadd@linux.local> together?

This problem and that "mydestination" parameter I really don't
understand, and the Postfix book I bought does not clear up either
matter. ( Although everything works fine save this issue.)
Your help is sincerely appreciated.

No problem, once I clear up the other issue.

Thanks again,
Robert
