RT gets mail, but doesn't send

Hello All,

I am able to send help requests via email to RT and get the AutoResponse
from RT. When I attempt to respond to the help request via the web
interface, it never gets there. Here is an attempted reply session from
my /var/log/maillog:

It appears as though RT is not sending the reply to right place?
Dunno…

Help!?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

I'd recommend checking your /etc/hosts file, as the log below indicates

that postfix/smtpd is attemptng to verify the host ‘localhost’ and failing
to do so. At a minimum you should have a top entry in the /etc/hosts file
that reads
127.0.0.1 localhost

on a line by itself. You may also want to check the postfix config file
main.cf (usually in /etc/postfix/main.cf)

Hope that helps
