Well, it "generally" works, but there are choices that have to be made
correctly (do I use a "smarthost" mail relay, do I rewrite addresses,
etc.)

Need to see your conf file. It should be at /etc/postfix/main.cf.

Also, depending on your distribution, you may be able to do some
configuration with a tool. For instance, with Debian, you could run
'dpkg-reconfigure postfix', and (assuming the correct responses) get
something that works right off the bat..
