Probably not quite. If the users will be sending mail out and you are on a dial-up or dynamic IP connection with no DNS MX records, you may have to setup Postfix to relay mail through the ISP's mail server. An awful lot of mail servers don't accept smtp traffic from dynamic IP ranges, or if the server is not the MX of record for the domain. That is assuming that your ISP is not totally blocking outgoing port 25 traffic, as does Earthlink and several other ISP's. The other fix is to have the mail clients relay outgoing mail directly through the ISP but pop mail from the local server. I prefer just getting Postfix to relay. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
