Adding postfix to startup

[Ben Sewell]

Hi Steve,
I installed via the RH9 RPMs on the site you gave before. It is now started 
up but I have a problem it seems regarding sending emails. I can't seem to 
sendmail them out to mailboxes. I have webmin installed and tried flushing 
the queue and it gives this line:

"Forcing the attempted delivery of mail with the command /usr/sbin/postqueue 
-c /etc/postfix -f .."

Does this mean I have some configuring to do in postfix such as master.cf 
and main.cf? Also, I have a dynamic host so I use dyndns.org to store my IP. 
Does it matter if I dont have anything put in for the mail exchanger in 
dyndns.org's records?

Regards,
Ben
