Learn how to setup, configure, and manage Postfix. If not done right, you may have set it up to be a relay - and that's not a good thing. Lock down Postfix. Ensure you understand all he things you did to it, in the end you may find out you set something wrong, or added something you should not have. -- Best regards, Chris The one ingredient you made a special trip to the store to get will be the one thing your guest is allergic to.
