i have a problem with my 2 postfix instances. 2 separate IP's and coressponding domain names are setup on networking, they are working fine. I want second mail message (below) to have
Received: from firstInstanceDomain.com (firstInstanceDomain.com. [second.domain.ip])
instead of
Received: from secondInstanceDomain.com (secondInstanceDomain.com. [second.domain.ip])
Othe important information:
-i have DKIM working on both domains
- when i put relayhost = firstInstanceDomain.com in firstInstanceDomain MAIN.CF i have secondInstanceDomain inside mail message from firstInstanceDomain, and secondInstanceDomain mail message is ok
- mail headers from both domains, master and main configs are attached below
I HAVE SPENT 60 HOURS trying to solve it, searching all google resource, postfix documenation, blogs and forums. no luck. Please Help!

You didn't specify how the mails are created (before sending). As they don't have revealing Received headers I assume that they are created directly on the server. And there is the problem. They are not "created" by sending them via SMTP to the server from a client. And so the configuration in master.cf is ignored completely.

So if you "drop" the mail to a Postfix instance via sendmail or maildrop (or similar) you have to specify to which instance the mail should be "queued" for outbound delivery. Otherwise the first one is assumed.

    Thank You very much for Your answer. It pointed me in the right direction. I am sending email with advanced email class but at the end it goes to php function mail(). When i set sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -C /etc/postfix-third in httpd.conf everything worked perfectly as planned! Thx again! – lew Jan 07 '12 at 01:20
  • After sending some emails from second instance, I noticed, that every mail, that bounced back from destination host, lands in first postfix instance and can't be send again, because of my spf setup. how can i make postfix pickup mail with correct instance distinguished by ip? smtp_bind_adress does not work . Plese help! – lew Jan 10 '12 at 01:59
