No, I simply meant that if you use Postfix you don't have to use anyone else's SMTP server, or you can choose (I think) to use relays only for certain from: domains. I.E. use Gmail's SMTP server for those messages, not for messages from @sayusi.hu.

However there had been a number of other replies by the time I read the list again, and it seemed like András had already got something working and there was no need for me to expand.
