You'll probably want a line like:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks it's hard to tell what why your mail is being denied, have you checked /var/log/mail.log? I would say that would be a good place to start, it may be because that host doesn't allow you to use mail w/out some sort of SASL authentication or something. > By the way i dint understand step 4 in the Howto: > > 4.

It's unsafe to let root receive mail, so generally you send all mail addressed to root to a different account (perhaps your local user account). just add a line like: some_user root to /etc/aliases, and then run 'postmap /etc/aliases' on that file. Good luck, Cameron Matheson P.S. You may have better luck on the postfix-users mailing list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
