Ben,

You're gonna have to do some basic configuration to postfix before you can
expect it to understand howto deliver mail (inbound or outbound). Especially
the main.cf variables myorigin, mydestination, etc... Start by looking at

http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html

and find the example that fits your environment.

BTW: I have never used webmin to configure or manage postfix, so I can't
help you with that part of your question. See: man postqueue -or- man
postsuper (that's what I use at this end to manage the queues).
