I quickly glanced at that thread. I am not sure I get why you would
setup a Postfix mail server on a QMT?
A little too quickly I'm afraid. ;) We're not talking about Postfix on a
QMT, we're talking about Postfix on a host that's trying to submit via
(or send to) QMT. You wouldn't (normally) want to put Postfix and QMT on
the same host. They would conflict trying to use the same port(s).
What's the purpose of doing it?
Mainly so that script emails can be sent. If the application is not
written (or you cannot configure/modify it) to send email that most
email servers will accept, you can install Postfix to allow the mail to
be sent out properly. 'Course you could install QMT as well, or any
other MTA. Or allow the IP to relay to your local users, etc. There are
several ways to work around this without actually fixing the app that is
sending the message.
