In addition to what Jerry states, visit the Postfix site. Learn how to
setup, configure, and manage Postfix.

If not done right, you may have set it up to be a relay - and that's not
a good thing.

Lock down Postfix. Ensure you understand all he things you did to it, in
the end you may find out you set something wrong, or added something you
should not have.
