Cannot send email Postfix / Dovecot

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Thanks Michael!!

I need to make my box's FQDN the same as my SSL and mail server (in the 
client).  I have them out of sync... this is all new to me so as I 
configured everything I did not know what to expect.  I'm hoping that is 
the case.

Thanks!!  I'll let you know.
