Hello, I just started setting up my website on a Linode recently. And, I am having some trouble with forwarding emails. I am following the guide located at:
http://library.linode.com/email/postfix ... 0-maverick (But I am on Ubuntu 11.04.)
So the basic path of the email should be:
sender@example.com (Sender) ->
forwarder@example.com (Forwarder) ->
recipient@othersite.com (Recipient). But, it keeps returning a 550-No Such User Here
Quote:

As you can see, it is checking for the account
sender@example.com which does not exist on the other server.
My current configuration of main.cf is:

Thank you for your help in advance! I am really stumped at this one. Could it be the other server's fault?
