I'm facing an issue with my Postfix setup where it should be saving all emails locally using a custom script, but instead, it attempts to forward outgoing emails, leading to "Relay access denied" errors. Incoming emails are processed and saved correctly.
Setup Details:
- Postfix is configured to use a custom transport called
saveemailfor saving emails. - The system processes incoming emails correctly and triggers the
saveemailscript. - For outgoing emails, instead of saving, Postfix attempts to forward them, which is not the desired behavior.
Relevant Configuration:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
Postfix Logs:

I'm looking for guidance on how to adjust the Postfix configuration so that it saves outgoing emails locally, just like it does with incoming ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
