main.cf changes for when mx is a different machine.

The mail server for something.com has been changed to mail.somethingelse.com

It's working fine for regular mail through a client.

How do I modify main.cf for the postfix install at something.com to
forward all mail generated by the scripts to the real mail server at
mail.somethingelse.com to be sent from there?

Thanks!

Transport question

Hello,

When entering smtp and smtps in transport I am getting an error:
postmap: warning: /etc/postfix/transport.db: duplicate entry: "example.com"

example.com smtp:[10.2.4.7]
example.com smtps:[10.2.4.7]

What is the correct syntax to have both?

Thank you,
Cameron

Setting up mail gateway questions.

We have a private network on our lan and a public network on our lan.

type of relationship?

Also if mail is for a server on the private network is there any way for
someone conne
