Ah, thanks. I tried that, and now I'm getting a different error:

<<< configuration error: mail loops back to myself (MX problem).

Any thoughts?

From the "Define local domains" section of INSTALL, referring to the locals file:

This file contains a list of domains, one per line. In most cases you need to initialize this file to contain every hostname that has a DNS A, or AAAA, record pointing to any IP address assigned to this machine, including "localhost". You will also need to include any domain that lists this machine as its primary MX relay.

You have some hostname defined in DNS with an A record for the machine's IP address, or an MX record, that's not listed in the locals file.

Yes, I have several hostnames defined for this IP address, as well as several hosted (ie non-local) domains that list this machine as their primary MX. It doesn't seem to make sense to me to have to list the hosted domains in the locals file all of a sudden. Nor have I ever needed to include additional hostnames in the locals file in the past.

Why has this become an issue all of a sudden?

Thanks,
