Sure, check mydestination in you main.cf, that could be the issue.

the line mydestination in main.cf

mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, $localhost.$mydomain, localhost

are you mean just take out the $myhostname, $mydomain from the line?

You could check th elogfiles, how does your transport table look like.

could you give some detail information about that? like concept, tutorial, or configure item.

the problem for me is : there are two mail platform, the postfix is responsible for send mail, and the godaddy is responsible receive mail. They have same domain name.
when the postfix try to send a mail which end with the @xxxx.com(my domain), it can not delivery to godaddy, instead, it stay in the postfix mail box.

domain), it can not delivery to godaddy, instead, it stay in the postfix
mail box.

Logfiles could be helpful as well as your config. Currently all I know
you try something with godaddy and it's not working.

If you postfix MTA has as mydestination domain.tld and the transport map
is not rerouting it, all messages to mydomain is handled locally since
your MTA is responisble for $mydestination.

It sounds to me that you are using godaddy as relay or does email fail
which is supposed to get sent to godaddy?

www.postfix.org has a very well written documentation if the above sounds
confusing.

Hi，

here is the log file information about the sending request：

Nov 15 11:38:48 ip-xx-xx-xx-xxx postfix/local[30164]: 032C157E54E: to=<***@xx .com>, orig_to=<***@xx.com>, relay=local, delay=0.02, delays=0/0.02/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)

I delete all domain in the mydestination, but the postfix still receive the mail, rather than sent out

@xx.com gets handled as a local domain, try postconf | grep "xx.com" to
check where it's setup.

***@xx.com has been setup according to that single line, but is mapped
to sales.
Your MTA config is messed up , that's for sure.

Check where postfix get the local domain from, change it and postfix will
ask the DNS for an MX record and deliver to that one, or if you are using
a relay, it sends it to the relay.

I suppose it won't give you an answer to your specific problem, since you
are the only one who knows how you have configured it, with no input
there won't be output. The postfix documentation explains to you how it
works [postfix] internally and what mechanisms are in place and how they
are working together.

If you don't wnat to share your config, it's fine, but then you are the
only person who can help you fixing it, therefore you have to understand
how it works below the hood.

There we go:

mydomain = xx.com

All email with destination xx.com is handled locally as far as I can see,
which is fine.
In your logline you've sent earlier, you mapped ***@xx.com to
***@xx.com, all local. If you'd map ***@xx.com to ***@gmail.com,
you'll receive the email in your gmail inbox (if nothing else is
misconfigured).

Hi,

thank you very much, Burkhard Ott.

that is the correct solution.

when I change the configure :

mydomain = ______.com

then the email ***@xx.com can be sent out, and it can received by the godaddy email platform.

Avoid posting username password combinations here, also your domain is
now know, nice decor stuff by the way.
A few lines above I told you what your problem is.

What I have seen on your website, I think you'd like to either host
locally your email or forward it to your gmail account, is that correct?

You can write to my email address if you'd like, I 'll make you a config
if you'd like which you can use for your specific case.

Godaddy is not a good choice if you want to host your own email, which is
possible as well.

Oh one other thing, change your password for postmaster, right now, yes
while you are reading here, do it right now! (don't forget to restart
postfix)
