[afnog] help postfix configuration

[Noah Sematimba]

The postfix main.cf file is very well commented. What you need to do is have 
the local domain and localhost listed in the postfix mydestination parameter 
in main.cf and then put the rest of the domains in transport file in the 
postfix configuration directory. The transport file is a hash database like 
the sendmail ones which contains the domain and the destination to which the 
mail should go.

for example if mail for jjj.qqq.mw should go by smtp to host relay.example.com 
then you put

jjj.qqq.mw		smtp:relay.example.com

in the transport file and run the command

postmap /path/to/transportfile  to generate a new hash database.

Hope this helps.

Noah.
