You, Sir, need to get some basic education on how packet-switched
computer networks deliver data between applications. This mailing
list, and Postfix documentation, are not the place to get that
education.
In a past epoch I would recommend the excellent books by Comer
(Internetworking with TCP/IP) and Stevens (TCP/IP illustrated).
