smtp server that nagios uses

[Melanie Pfefer]

hi,

I checked the header of the emails coming from nagios. I also check the headers of the emails I send from the machine itself when I telnet to postfix.

indeed the email goes to my old mail server then to the new mail server.

I checked the file /etc/postfix/transport and it was all commented but I added as you suggested

mycompany.com smtp:smtp:ip_adddress_of_my_new_exchange

I restarted postfix.

but the header of any test message still goes to the old mail server...

any idea please?
