I'm using debian, and installed the postfix/mysql as per the step-by step.

One problem, is that I cannot send email to the outside world. Mail delivers locally.

Any ideas? What info can I provide that will help? I'm a bit of a noob, but know some basic linux.

thanks!

here's what mail mail.log looks like after sending to an external address:

Jul 10 04:32:00 li159-162 postfix/pickup[10666]: B253BC4B5: uid=0 from= Jul 10 04:32:00 li159-162 postfix/cleanup[10797]: B253BC4B5: message-id=<20100710043200.B253BC4B5@wagorn.com>

Jul 10 04:32:00 li159-162 postfix/qmgr[10665]: B253BC4B5: removed

does this mean it THINKS it sent it? is it queued somewhere? how do a get the queue to send?

Here is main.cf:

Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first

line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default

is /etc/mailname.

appending .domain is the MUA's job.
