Postfix on dial-up, single-user machine
 
Hi,
I finally managed to set up postfix, fetchmail, procmail an mutt to work with each other, on stand-alone dial-up machine (no networks, gateways or something else, just stand-alone single user machine). Well actually, I've delayed mutt configuration because of the one additional problem I have with postfix, that I would like to ask you for advice.

Postfix is, of course, installed and working, but only with one account. That is, (by using "Installing a sophisticated e-mail environment for systems with only a dial-up Internet connection" tutorial) I added to main.cf the following:
#my hostname, yes it's slackware distro
myhostname = darkstar
myorigin = $myhostname
mydestination = darkstar.example.net, localhost.example.net, localhost.localdomain, darkstar, darkstar.localdomain, localhost
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24
#my isp's server for sending mail through
relayhost = mail.gmx.net
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail

and made sender_canonical in following way:
axa_aaa@darkstar.example.net user_axa@gmx.net
axa_aaa@localhost.example.net user_axa@gmx.net
axa_aaa@darkstar.localdomain user_axa@gmx.net
axa_aaa@localhost.localdomain user_axa@gmx.net

Of course, after that, I run postmap for both sender_canonical and aliases (it was not in ndb format)

And, as already written, it is working as expected, but, again only with single account.
I have two more accounts at different servers that I would like to use. Question is, how can I set up postfix, so I can send my mail through one of the following servers:
mail.gmx.net
smtp.hotpop.com
smtp.some_other_host.com

and change my envelope address from axa_aaa@darkstar.example.net to respectively to:
user_axa@gmx.net
axa_user@hotpop.com
user_axa_aaa@some_other_host.com

??

Should I try to add all these servers in main.cf like:
relayhost = mail.gmx.net
relayhost = smtp.hotpop.com
relayhost = smtp.some_other_host.com

Then delete file sender_canonical, and then finally, when I want to send my mail, through mutt (or some other mua) to specifically assign _from_ field? Would this work in desired way, or perhaps, there is some more "elegant" way for handling this kind of situation?

Thank you.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
