I know what I am doing. I want my server to send me alert to my pager (my pager has a email address) or some other address that I choose When my server wants to send email my ISP gets on the way. For details read my original email I can achieve that same using nullmailer and stunnel. But I like to achieve the same thing with postfix. So only constructive and to the point feedback is appreciated just like the author of postfix is doing here.
