Re: postfix and sendmail

ok, I think I just answered my own question. My main.cf had the
header_checks parameter active. I commented this out for now, and mail
delivery works! Woo hoo.

Now, I am assuming that I probably WANT these header checks turned on,
and I'm assuming this is the place to tell me how to do that:
http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html

I'm also assuming this will tell me how to configure things so that it
will allow relay from authenticated users, yes? If no, is there some
other doc I should be looking at?

THanks for your help,
Christian
