I'm setting up a postfix 2.3.3 mail server which is to be the primary
outgoing mail server and act as a secondary incoming mail server for
three domains (only one of which is of any real size).

I haven't used postfix before so I'm wading through the configuration
and documentation and without having any special requirements most of
the defaults appear sane.

So far as I understand it I will need to configure the following
parameters:

Mydestination - to allow it to collect mail on behalf of my domains
Mynetworks - so it knows where internal mail will be coming from

Both of those seem simple enough, my question is about having it as the
secondary MX record. Is there a parameter you need to configure to tell
postfix it is to pass e-mail to the top of the MX chain, or will it do a
name lookup and discover this for itself?

Is there anything else I need to take into consideration or configure?
Beyond chroot that is, which is something I will investigate next.

Many thanks,

Paul Cocker
