OK so this change above was made  and when I restarted Postfix (using the
Service config gui) it popped-up saying "Postfix restart successful" yet the
status window shows "Master is stopped"?  I have googled this and found
similar problems but no solution.  

Any Ideas on this one?  The only change I made to the main.cf file was to
uncomment the line

#inet_interfaces = all

I have rebooted the machine (and when I did I got a whole list of [FAILED]
messages while it was trying to stop process' ??

Arrg,
JP

Hey all WOW!! Thanks for all the great responses, absolutely amazing.

My domain is b-dub.org

I have set up an MX record with my DNS service.  Um  I am not running both
postfix and sendmail, I am only running postfix, I followed through a
tutorial to set it up which first had me uninstall sendmail from the system.

Please enlighten me?? As I am confused by this statement

Yes, that's the default behaviour for both sendmail and postfix. However 
, if he can telnet the mail server on port 25 using another machine , 
probably he already did that...
In case he didnt , he has to change inet_interfaces = localhost to 
inet_interfaces = all on /etc/postfix/main.cf.
