I have an internal mail server configured using Fetchmail, Courier-IMAP 
and Postfix on a Mandrake server at work. To reduce the amount of 
internet traffic and speed up internal mail I have configured the file 
/etc/postfix/virtual with the entries

user1 at 4ward.com.au user1 at localhost
user2 at 4ward.com.au user2 at localhost

I also have configured it to use my ISP's SMTP server as I have had 
messages rejected because it was delivered directly from a DHCP pool IP 
address.

Now I use the same setup at home. My problem is that mail doesn't stay 
internal. I have tested whether the mail goes external by shutting down 
fetchmail, at work it gets delivered, at home it goes to my domain host 
account (which I check using IMAP to their server).

I have run the command 'postmap /etc/postfix/virtual' and added the line 
'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual' to the main.cf file.

Does anyone know what I could check on my config here at home or do I 
have to wait till Monday?
