Laurence, I agree with Andy's reply.
Are you sure that you need to do this, given that you are using a single
PC with virgin net as your ISP?
It might be helpful if you give us a bit more info on your setup.


By the way, as Postfix configuration has come up a few times on the list,
I can say that buying a book on it is definitely a good investment.
The one I used was titled 'Postfix', author Richard Blum, published by
Sams.
