Ofcourse you also need to setup your local mailsever to use your ISP's SMTP server as a smart host for delivering email. .fetchmailrc file and howto for enabling smarthost for postfix is available on net.
Fetchmail got configured in a jiffy using the 'fetchmailconf' utility and it passed the polling test.
Postfix too was setup with smtp authentication. However the mails cannot be sent due to some nameserver error. Here is a sample of mailq below.
8DC0356C34 314 Sat Apr 15 23:24:10 rony@localhost.localdomain (delivery temporarily suspended: Name service error for name=smtp1.mail.vip.ukl.yahoo.com type=MX: Malformed name server reply) My_Email_Address BB7EA56C38 314 Sat Apr 15 23:24:17 rony@localhost.localdomain (delivery temporarily suspended: Name service error for name=smtp1.mail.vip.ukl.yahoo.com type=MX: Malformed name server reply) My_Email_Address
Even tried postque -f but still the same errors. On the net some say its a dns resolution problem. The mails are sent using
echo "Postfix Works" | mail My_Email_Address
Any clues?

Rony.
