[ale] New PostFix install

[Armsby John-G16665]

All,

So much for upgrading from a working Mandrake 8.0 to Mandrake 9.1.  The upgrade became a start over install.... I am really disappointed in Mandrake...

The good news is I was able to go through a Red Hat HowTo and get my mail system to send mail locally.  The bad news is the box does not use my Mindspring relay to send mail outside of the box.  My environment is a home PC with a linksys switch to Mindspring.  I also have a modem.


Any help would be appreciated.

John
