What you're looking for is called a "null client." <http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#null_client> > If this makes it easier, I do have a fully functional Postfix mail > server on my website server.

You may want to set up authentication between the client and server too. <http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html> > Or should the home send-only Postfix send through Gmail somehow? That would be another option, yes. <https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/configure-postfix-to-use-gmail-as-a-mail-relay/> Regards Ansgar Wiechers -- "Abstractions save us time working, but they don't save us time learning." --Joel Spolsky
