The bizmail.com.au is wrong, it was my old ISP, but I could not find
where the parameters get it from?

I only use one file mailname and I have changed mailname to
smtp.gmail.com:587, but still got port 25:

Dec 11 22:07:47 debian postfix/smtp[5598]: connect to
mailc.microsoft.com[131.107.115.214]: Network is unreachable (port 25)

That's correct. I've only got three files contains specific mail
information in postfix:

1. mailname: smtp.gmail.com:587

2. canonical

yh      webmail.hce@gmail.com
root        webmail.hce@gmail.com

3. sasl_passwd

smtp.gmail.com  webmail.hce@gmail.com:mypassword

That was working fine to my previous ISP bizmail.com.au, or may be
because the postfix config set to:

masquerade_domains = bizmail.com.au
mydestination = mail.bizmail.com.au

I could not find postfix.conf, and where I can change those parameers?

Thanks Mihira.

Kind Regards,

Jim
