I found the mail server for my ISP (shawmail.vc.shawcable.net) and edited main.cf in the following manner: myhostname = shawcable.net relayhost = [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net] I still don't receive the mail from the PHP script though. The error log from /var/log/mail.log is this: Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/pickup[7044]: 6CA44A70109: uid=33 from=<www-data> Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/cleanup[7107]: 6CA44A70109: message-id=<20091024040031.6CA44A70109@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/qmgr[7045]: 6CA44A70109: from=<www-data@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=527, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/error[7109]: 6CA44A70109: to=<xxx@xxxxxxxxx>, relay=none, delay=0.04, delays=0.03/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced ([shawmail.vc.shawcable.net]) Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/cleanup[7107]: 75517A7010A: message-id=<20091024040031.75517A7010A@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/bounce[7110]: 6CA44A70109: sender non-delivery notification: 75517A7010A Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/qmgr[7045]: 75517A7010A: from=<>, size=2219, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/qmgr[7045]: 6CA44A70109: removed Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/error[7109]: 75517A7010A: to=<www-data@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=none, delay=0.03, delays=0.02/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced ([shawmail.vc.shawcable.net]) Oct 23 21:00:31 homemade postfix/qmgr[7045]: 75517A7010A: removed Have I edited main.cf incorrectly, or are there other values that need to be edited?
