Hi Barney, Here I just wanted to explain you that what exactly I am trying to do is,
1] I am trying to configure postfix mail server that can only send mails. It receives no mail from the network. 2] The MX records tell the world which server will accept inbound mail for your domain. They have nothing to do with sending outbound mail. That's why I have not made any DNS entry for my domain "textwand.com". 3] Locally generated mails will be forward ALERT / INFO /CRITICAL notifications generated by my local syslogd to me. I want generated log reports to go to my "manoj.bura...@artificialmachines.com" account. 4] I have hosted my JAVA application on the same server. And it will generate mail to deliver to the users. e.g. mmbura...@gmail.com / yahoo.com or manoj.bura...@artificialmachines.com etc..In short it will deliver mail on the internet to other domain users. Here I am providing you the output of "postconf -n". Please guide me if I am doing anything wrong. Please...
