To answer my own questions in case anyone else cares: bp wrote:
1. In testing out my Postfix install I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now I see delivery failed/deferred messages in the log. How do I flush these messages out of the queue to avoid the repeated failures?
Still don't know. But fix your server and they'll be sent. ;-)
Allow port 25/tcp incoming traffic. No MX record necessary, SMTP resolves the IP of the domain following the @ sign and delievers mail to that IP.
2. What is involved in actually getting mail to my linux box from the outside world? It'd be nice to have disposable email address for some things, like a [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. I imagine I'd have to open port 25/tcp to the outside world. I need a mx record associated with my dyndns.org address? Does dyndns.org do this?
Setup the mynetworks config in postfix so as not to allow an open relay.

btw: Bellsouth DSL appears to have 0 restrictions on port 25 use.
