Thank you bernbausch I made the change and my emails that was in queue are no longer there. How do I verify the email went to were they were supposed to go?

I suggest you create a new question. I know very little about Postfix (and only answered your question because the error was rather obvious to me).

You should check the logs (usually /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log).
