I have "Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS" on a raspberry pi 4,
and I'm trying to config postfix to use sender dependent relayhosts.
Postfix is mail_version = 3.4.13 and i have
a dynamic IP.
The schema looks like this:
- local user sends email to postfix (local emailserver)
- postfix rewrites FROM Address
- dependent on the rewrite FROM Address pick the right relayhost
- submits the mail to the relayhost via port 587
for point 1) an 2) i have a file sender_canonical created:
[email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] [email protected]
For point 3) i have a file relaymap created:
@gmx.de mail.gmx.net:587
@gmail.com smtp.gmail.com:587
For point 4) i have a file pass_smarthost created:
[email protected] [email protected]:UserA-GMX-Password
[email protected] [email protected]:UserB-Gmail-Password
I tested it with this:
echo "test" | sendmail -f ttm [email protected]
But currently i get:
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep --line-buffered "postfix\|relay\|generic"

For me it looks like, that postfix tries to deliver the email directly to the recipient server on port 25 - instead of using the relayhost (here gmx.de).
And the rewrite didnt come to the correct address - maybe a circle?
I tried to add the "-v" option in the master.cf to see more details or get a hint whats going round.
But i didn't get the error. What am I missing?
Any hint would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
