Thanks Everybody
I configured the relayhost entry in main.cf in /etc/postfix path as
relayhost = [my service provider relay host]
Thats all, I am able to send / recv email.


Next how do I make sure, my spam/antivirus filtering is working properly....
Is it that only maillog i cam check, or is there any effective way of
checking it.

Thanks
-Austin
