My bad; Ignore my previous brain-fart ;P If you want to send mails, you will need an external SMTP server listening on 587; this is different from running your own SMTP server (which may or may not be listening on 587) within your local machine. So you would have at least 2 SMTP servers (one at your virtual machine, and the other external as described above,) with the local one relaying mails to the external. You would probably benefit more if you can use a specialized MTA for your local SMTP server, instead of using Postfix. There are many that serve this purpose: nullmailer[0] and masqmail[1] come to mind. [0] http://freshmeat.net/projects/nullmailer/ [1] http://prog.marmaro.de/masqmail/ -- Zak B.
