...and this is why I hate postfix (:

[Steve Holdoway]

I've got a website set up that hosts it's email externally, but wants to
send mail there.

I have /etc/mailname set to example.com
main.cf
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = localhost
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks
permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination

myhostname = adifferentexample.com
mydomain = adifferentexample.com

DNS:
MX record for example.com points to the correct server

But still mail sent to ***@example.com is delivered locally.

What do I need to change to send from the webserver to ***@example.com
where the webserver resolves to example.com.

Bring back sendmail (:

I set up webservers with myhostname and myorigin = foo.nice.net.nz then
send with From: nice.net.nz

do you want to relay all email via example.com's mailserver or just email for
example.com ?

if just for the one domain something like this?
edit /etc/postfix/transport
example.com smtp:[example.com.mx.server] run:
postmap /etc/postfix/transport
if required to update it. then try again.

I want emails autogenerated by the website example.com to be delivered
to the mail store for example.com which is external. MX records point to
the correct target.

Sorry, premature reply there.

relay=none, delay=0.04, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.0.0,
status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)

is what's happening... it's trying to deliver locally, even though I've
created the transport file/hash. Do I need to update main.cf to use it?

Cheers,

Steve

Do you have relayhost setting set to the external mail server address?

if you are altering/creating a postfix hash map you need to "postmap
file_name" (or postmap file_type:filename if you dont want the
default_database_type)
http://www.postfix.org/postmap.1.html

I dont believe you need to reference the transport file in main.cf

relay=none, delay=0.04, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.0.0,
status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)

This error means you are trying to send to an invalid recipient.
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

Im not sure what you mean by "MX record for example.com points to the
correct server" whether the web server or the external mail server is
"correct"

if the external mail server is the correct MX you have probably
forgotten to postmap the transport file or its not configured correctly.

if the web server is the MX record then you are likely trying to
configure a virtual domain and are missing the virtual_alias_maps
setting (or this setting is misconfigured)
