Everything is working here (Dovecot) except for the outgoing (postfix smtp)
and I have a feeling it is my lack of understanding for postfix arch that is
keeping me from getting there. I figure what Reinaldo is telling me is the
clue.
Does this mean I can only send from an id == wshekrota@frontier.com?
do I have to change lines in main.cf to phoney that id and host?
I apologise I don't have a broad knowledge of mail systems.
Thanks.
