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?
I'm guessing, something to do with how you're running logwatch.
Use the mail command for easy testing of outbound messages from the host:
# mail -s "the subject" [email protected]
type in some text for the message body
.
The solo period ends the command, and the message is on its way.

setup a Postfix mail server on a QMT?
A little too quickly I'm afraid. ;) We're not talking about Postfix
on a QMT, we're talking about Postfix on a host that's trying to
submit via (or send to) QMT. You wouldn't (normally) want to put
Postfix and QMT on the same host. They would conflict trying to use
the same port(s).
What's the purpose of doing it?
Mainly so that script emails can be sent. If the application is
not written (or you cannot configure/modify it) to send email
that most email servers will accept, you can install Postfix to
allow the mail to be sent out properly. 'Course you could
install QMT as well, or any other MTA. Or allow the IP to relay
to your local users, etc. There are several ways to work around
this without actually fixing the app that is sending the message.
