If you are talking about configuring postfix, maybe the answer is: 
myhostname=servix.servix.com

and whats my SMTP server?
What do you mean? Are you asking about what is a SMTP server in general? 
If yes: Answer: The daemon process which accepts email to relay or 
deliver via SMTP protocol.
This could be postfix or courier-mta, depending on your configuration. 
Courier, however, can do more things beyond that: IMAP, POP, ...
So it is possible to use postfix as the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA or 
SMTP-Server) together with courier as IMAP or POP server.

(Try to be a little bit more precise with your questions.)
