Did a fresh install and created a new web site: http://www.imwell-usa.com.
The web site has an email address for 'Contact Us'. When I try to send an
email from the web page (from Win XP PC), I get the following error:
--------
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Relay excess denied. Please check the messge
recipient and try again.

The page you mentioned uses a simple mailto: link. This calls the Mail
Client of the machine.
This simply means your client may be misconfigured.
I've sent a test mail and it was not returned. Postfix seems to be
running as it's supposed to.

I have read both Postfix & Dovecot documentation and have followed their
installation instructions. I believe that my setting for the 'relayhost' are
not correct, however, since I am pretty new, I do not want to make a change
the recommended settings and end up with open relay.
You can try sending an email from: http://www.imwell-usa.com/contact_us.html
page and see the error.
Please let me know what change I need & then I can study the setting on my
own. Below are settings for 'postfix' & 'dovecot':
Thanks,
