Hello,
Was trying to setup postfix on my home PC. Running Centos 6.4. I don't have a static IP and use zoneedit and ddclient to keep my installation of zoneminder current.
So I decided I wanted to get zoneminder to send me email
alerts. Sent
some test messages but none were sent.

which should be correct for email servers to function correctly. Basically, to do an email server you need a fixed IP.
Do you need to receive mail or just send it? See the URL above if you just need to send.
I will look into that as I just want to send mail.
Thanks
