With this setting myhostname = chetnet.co.uk I can send mails to an external mail box at proweb.co.uk, so it goes from an acco...@chetnet.co.uk to an acco...@proweb.co.uk
But if I send a mail to al...@chetnet.co.uk I get to following This is the mail system at host chetnet.co.uk. ############################################################# I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients.

Search for 'postfix domain change'. You're probably going to be most interested in mydomain, myhostname and perhaps myorigin. > I'm sending the mail from the Nagios Server from address > nag...@cna.localhost to not...@proweb.co.uk Yup, I'd reject that too. cna.localhost isn't a valid hostname or domain. > I have not configured postfix in anyway, the install guide just > implied that I did the following and it would work out of the box so > to speak Yes, the install guide has to assume that the MTA packages and configuration for whatever system you are using are sane. It's your responsibility to make sure they are.
