I've been struggling with Postfix for a couple of weeks now, but I'm
still a novice. I'm guessing here that genesis.organic-earth.com is a
machine local to you? And I assume the mailhost at wwnet.net would
understand mail to root@organic-earch.com? You didn't post your main.cf,
but a guess might be to change myorigin = $mydomain, assuming $mydomain
is organic-earth.com. But I'm just wondering if there may be more needed
than that. Posting your main.cf, and any relevant content from
canonical, virtual and transport might be useful. Also the actual
relationship between wwnet.net and organic-earth.com.
