Hi,
I use tpg as my internet provider and yahoo for mail. I'm trying to configure postfix and need to supply a value for 
relayhost  = ???  in /etc/postfix/main.cf

I've guessed (wrongly ) at smtp.yahoo.com.au , relay.yahoo.com.au and smtp.tpg.com.au . Postfix logs

Feb 17 08:20:23 olive postfix/smtp[9773]: 14187DC0C84: to=<gmawby at yahoo.com.au>, relay=none, delay=1542, delays=1527/0.01/15/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=relay.yahoo.com.au type=MX: Host not found, try again)

My understanding of the above message is that relay.yahoo.com.au is not a mail relay.


Is there a way I can find out what the relay is?

Glenn,
Sydney.
