With mydestination you specify your local domain(s). Example: mydestination = fritha.org All mail handled by postfix which goes to .fritha.org will be delivered locally. When there's no local user for it, the mail will be undeliverable and bounce. Mail to .fritha.org will not be send to the smarthost or elsewhere. You can say that this postfix is the mail server for fritha.org. (For virtual hosting of a domain, you'll have to configure it in the virtual alias db). The myorigin parameter defines where your mail is coming from when you send a mail. Example: you log in as "htd" and write a mail to somebody. With myorigin = $mydomain postfix will append this to your local user as the sender address (htd@xxxxxxxxxx). > I would hesitate to follow documentation for another OS. > I found I had to make several changes when going from CentOS-5 to CentOS-6.

With "subnet", your whole subnet(s) are valid for sending mail. "Class" should be taken with caution, because the whole network class you specify here will be able to send mail via your postfix. You don't want the whole Alice network to spam the world using your postfix :-) > ------------------- > # By default (mynetworks_style = subnet), Postfix "trusts" SMTP > # clients in the same IP subnetworks as the local machine.

It depends on your case.
