But when i try send E-mail via sendmail to mail@mydomainonsameserver.com it not deliver mail to Google Apps totally, if i try to send to another E-mail everything fine it deliver it. so finally i done research this problem in Internet. And find that need to disable deliver mail to localhost. as i think postfix understand that the domain point to the same server where postfix have itself. and try to deliver mail local. but zonefile MX recod even the domain on same server can point to another server outside. So i disabled localdelivery in postfix. and problem not fixed. Do anyone have eny ideas? sorry people can anyone help me. i compiled and install postfix, and i using relayhost that point to my ISP. but my "DNS server" is on the same server where is installed postfix. and there is running apache with vhosts so i have domain that point to that server and in zonefiles of my domain i'm not using POP3 or IMAP on my server my MX records points to Google Apps, to google's MX servers.

For whatever reason, Godaddy/SecureServer doesn't maintain MX records in DNS. Encapsulated the smtpout.secureserver.net in []'s worked fine to start moving mail. Just don't make my mistake and put the wrong password in.. you'll get a 451 Internal Error @Wade: Working on the TLS/SSL check for GoDaddy, but keep the port outside of the []'s works fine.

Can you telnet into that host from the server? ie. Try: <br> telnet smtpout.secureserver.net 465 <br> Also, I don't wrap host names in the brackets with postfix, never had much luck with it either :) @Wade - sounds like you may have a DNS issue.

telnet smtpout.secureserver.net 465

postfix: fatal: relayhost parameter setting must not contain multiple values: smtpout.servername.net:3535 name@isp.com:passwd

This is the correct information but, how should it be formatted?
