Well that's good news. When I used sendmail, fetchmail would pass incoming mail to port25 for sendmail to deliver. I don't know how postfix works but I thought it might be the same way when used with fetchmail.

Ubuntu has interactive installer for package postfix that allows you to create smarthost configuration. Did you try it? Yes, but that didn't help the masquerading part. What I said above was that the SmartHost wasn't enough without masquerading. I've been thru the config thing, repeatedly and have not seen any questions about masquerading. I did find something in the docs but what I understood them to be saying isn't working .. not yet anyway... still tinkering with it. ----
