OK, concerning MY Postfix issues. After performing the steps that I was told in earlier posts, I got SMTPd to answer the "phone", however, when I try to send email from outside to one of the user accounts on the box, I get it returned stating it cannot relay. I thought that postfix should at least know the linux users. However, I CAN send email to outside from within the linux terminal using telnet localhost 25. So, something is still not right someplace. I have checked and double checked both the main.cf and the aliases files and everything looks good. Also there are two aliases files, one in /etc/ and one in /etc/postfix. Which one is postfix actually using?
