please note that centos docs are under centos responsibility. here, the docs are on www.postfix.org. anything else is unsupported (aka: use at your own risk). > Local delivery and local receipt works ok.

I don't understand this. do you mean you can't send mail to external domains when you use a local (127.0.0.1) postfix? if so, show the error message and logs. > > Now trying to make my computer a full fledged mail server.
