In a typical configuration, it would be hitting your smtp server port 25, which you would see in your smtp log:
# qmlog -lc fuse\.net

Friends,  :: an update ::

I have retained the postfix how to in case i need it....
I got my thing working via sendmail ( 'cause i was close ) and using the providers mailserver.( smtp.fuse.net )

basically i am able to monitor our servers ( like I am outside the network ) via this dsl
and I can send an email that I can get on my mobile device

so i can get to my fuse account ( the dsl Ma Bell folks here in cincy )
and I have THAT account set to forward mail to my pps account ( that uses a qmail toaster mail server )

I reckon -- qmail sees that as , well ... i do not know -- but it never gets to my inside ( but , i am basically happy - cause I can have my desk clinet also looking at my fuse and --it also rings in my pocket....so..it is workable )

I was wondering what logs I might look at to see if this 'fuse relay ' is hitting my qmail toaster server?

I reckon I will never get the messages to - just come through.

Thanks

Hey Jim,

I just happened to be doing this today, so here are my notes on how to set up postfix to send mail out from a generic server, like for logwatch output and such (that would otherwise go to r...@localhost).

{replace what's in braces, and remove braces}

# yum install postfix
# yum remove sendmail

# cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
# make postcert.pem

# echo "{submission.server.com}:587 {user:passwd}" \
> /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Edit /etc/aliases if desired, then do newaliases command:
root:    sysadmin
# newaliases

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, changing these from the default values (this was CentOS5.3):
myorigin = $mydomain
#mydestination =
mynetworks_style = host
relayhost = {submission.server.com}:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/postcert.pem
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/run/smtp_tls_session/cache

# service postfix start
# chkconfig postfix on

That should do it.
Note, this configuration relies on hostname being set correctly for your domain. If it's not, you'll need to change the myorigin variable appropriately.

Please let us know whether or not this works for you.

That's not telling us much. I sure don't know, and don't care to know sendmail. If you'd try using postfix again we might be of more help. For what you need, postfix isn't a bad choice. Certainly better than sendmail.

it is centos 4.7 running sendmail ( what came with it ) I started to install postfix because I am a bit more farmilur with that than send mail. Postfix was what i was using before i found -- the best mailserver solution of qmailtoaster...

anyways

I can email with a client ( evolution )  and that does come through

even though I am using sendmail. the smtp server is one from the isp - a dsl modem etc.

I can command line send mail ( sendmail ) to a gmail account - but not mu internal domain

I was wondering about MX  or Reverse DNS -
here is the full header of the client ( evolution ) email that does come through
