already bear with me, since I just installed Red Hat 8.0 72 hrs ago....my purpose is to migrate all my web based function onto the Linux box...

thus far, I have successfully configure POSTFIX to send/receive mail using MUTT at the root.


Issue #1: Mail sent to web base mail account (ie. yahoo) received address as: [ROOT@HOST.MYDOMAIN.COM] instead of [USER@MYDOMAIN.COM]

and yes, I do realize that this can be attributed to having been logged in at the root during the send....I'm more interested in resolving my domain addressing issue.....


[/ETC/POSTFIX/MAIN.CF] is configured as: (unless otherwise indicated below, default settings are used)

MYHOSTNAME = host.example.com

MYDOMAIN = example.com

MYORIGIN = $mydomain

INET_INTERFACES = all

MYDESTINATION = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain

=============================================

I should also clarify be saying that I'm configuring this as a standalone mailserver....


Issue #2: Despite being able to send/receive mail from root to a web based email account, I am unable to connect to the mail server within the LAN. I'm using (urgh!!!) Outlook Express 6 as my client mail on the LAN.

The mail server is configured as: 192.168.1.200 and all my clients are located within this subnet....

Should you require any additional info to assist in resolving this issue, I will gladly provide them....

I need to have email functioning before business tomorrow morning, so your insights are great appreciated.
