Help Configuring Postfix for no-relaying
Hi,

I have read a lot of manuals and man pages yet I am still confused so I thought I would ask this forum for some help.

I need to configure my postfix to accept email for certain domains.
And it should not be allowed to deliver emails from another emails!
So I did the following:

mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain

If I only want Postfix to deliver mail from the local machine do I set set the mynetworks parameter to host?

Second issue: what is /etc/postifx/relay file for?

Postfix defaults to 'local' when there is no other transport defined

Hope this helps
