Steven,
I just did what you are talking about about a week ago.
edit the postfix config file: /etc/postfix/main.cf
make sure you uncomment the lines:
mydomain=domain.name
and replace "domain.name" with your company or organization's domain,
Then uncomment the line,
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain,
but don't replace anything on it, they are defined above.
I also had to configure the line:
myhostname = mail.domain.name
because my ISP had the MX record configured to go to a machine, with hostname
"mail"
run the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix restart
hope this helps
Ron
