[Discuss] Mail screwed the pooch

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

Morning update:
I found another mail program for my phone that works.  I'm hoping I can 
get the default app to work eventually though.  I also got my wife's 
iPhone working.  Incoming mail is still going to my home server, which 
is fine for now, and outgoing is relaying through the linode box.

Current problem is that when I send mail from FOO at thekramers.net to 
BAR at thekramers.net, the Linode box stores it locally instead of 
forwarding it to thekramers.net.  For some reason the linode server 
thinks it's collecting mail for thekramers.net too.
- thekramers.net is not mentioned anywhere in the postfix or dovecot 
config files
- I removed it as a virtual_domain in MySQL and restarted everything

This is something that can be solved when I get back though.
