    i have a mail server set up and can successfully send mail using an
    email client aka thunderbird, im running postfix/courier-imap all the
    users are stored in a mysql db, i can recieve mail fine as well. im
    using apache and squirrelmail for my webmail. i have to use relayhost =
    mail.comcast.net in my postfix config so that my mail doesnt bounce, my
    ip is a DUL. when ever i send mail through SM i get timeouts when
    connecting to my ISP's mail server mail.comcast.net, on about 3
    different ip addresses. its my understanding that SM uses the same
    setup that the clients do, SM is running on the same server as the other
    services aka courier and postfix. so why can i send mail with a client
    and not with SM? i have SM setup to use localhost for both incoming and
    outgoing mail so it uses my servers settings. what can i provide for
    you to better assist me? i have been messing with this for almost 2
    weeks have asked countless people and mailing lists with no resolve.

    here is my postconf -n if that helps:

    mail root # postconf -n
    alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf
    command_directory = /usr/sbin
    config_directory = /etc/postfix
    daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
    debug_peer_level = 2
    default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
    home_mailbox = .maildir/
    html_directory = no
    inet_interfaces = all
    local_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
    local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps unix:passwd.byname
    local_transport = local
    mail_owner = postfix
    mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
    manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
    mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
    mydomain = computernick.com
    myhostname = mail.computernick.com
    mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
    myorigin = computernick.com
    newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
    queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
    readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r1/readme
    relayhost = mail.comcast.net
    relocated_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-relocated.cf
    sample_directory = /etc/postfix
    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
    setgid_group = postdrop
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
    reject_unauth_destination
    unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
    virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf
    virtual_gid_maps = static:100
    virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail/
    virtual_mailbox_domains = nyc0nshack.com
    virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-maps.cf
    virtual_minimum_uid = 1000
    virtual_transport = virtual
    virtual_uid_maps = static:1001

    thanks for any and all help

    nick
