It looks like postfix is trying to relay your messages. Do you have mydestination set in main.cf?

Yes.

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mydestination

Code:

#mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

#mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

mydestination = $localhost, $myhostname, $mydomain

It seems screwing up on godaddy.com site. Can I attach screenshot on posting?

Hi billymayday,

Problem solved by editing DNS Control Center on Godaddy site making all items under "CNAMES (Aliases)" pointing to "satimis.com". Now postfix can receive mails.

My next step will be setup user mail boxes, security, etc. Please advise where can I find "documents for Ubuntu" to install/setup Postfixadmin, setup vmail user account and usergroup, setup files linking MySQL and postfix, etc.

TIA

I do all my from the command line, but webmin will help. www.postfix.org is a very informative site

Hi billymayday,

Tks for your advice and link.

That is what I prefer, learning command line installation/configuration, the basic. I have webmin running on this box. However it will be my last resort.
