Hi,

ive configured my box as per the gentoo guide for virtual mail hosting incoming works and some outgoing email send with the server as the outgoing mail server works.

Other messages are reported back as :
Code:

Apr 29 22:00:48 [postfix/smtp] E8E093097AF: to=<xxxxxx@xxxx.rr.com>, relay=hrndva-01.mgw.rr.com[24.28.204.23], delay=1, status=bounced (ho

L FROM command))
Apr 29 22:00:48 [postfix/cleanup] 995DB3097B3: message-id=<20060429220048.995DB3097B3@xxx.xxxxxxxx.net>
Apr 29 22:00:48 [postfix/qmgr] 995DB3097B3: from=<>, size=2901, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Apr 29 22:00:48 [postfix/qmgr] 995DB3097B3: to=<{xxxxx@xxxxxx.co.uk}>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (bad address syntax: "{xxxxx@xxxxxxx.co.uk}")

I cannot send mail to hotmail.com or rr.com (the above accors) but I can send mail to gmail without any problem.

Any help or pointers please!

It seems like target mailserver is configured to accept e-mails only from existing domains. It's common anti-spam setting, which can block many e-mails from stupid spammers. Is something under xxxxxxx.co.uk valid domainname?

Thats what is baffling me, all domain names are in DNS and resolvable.

Another thing are those strange brackets {}. As you posted latter, mail server is even trying to send bounce message to {someuser@somedomein.co.uk} what is nosense. But i have absolutely no idea how these brackets got there and how to get rid of them :-(

where is the {} around the address came from ?
Code:
$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Postfix
ehlo localhost
250-localhost.localdomain
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250 8BITMIME
mail from: {me@localhost.localdomain}
501 Bad address syntax
mail from: <me@localhost.localdomain>
250 Ok
