Eric is correct, I am NOT trying to put POSTFIX on my QMT box but on my web server box.
BTW Eric, I had your setup work only once and then for some reason it does not send now. Serves me right for fiddling with it before bed last night. I am trying to get my logwatch reports. I do a "logwatch --range yesterday" it executes but no errors and no email sent?
