    I'm not sure, but maybe you must run
    Code:
    SuSEconfig
    after your changes to /etc/postfix/main.cf.

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -l /etc/sysconfig
    ?

    I didn't think of it before, but inside OScommerce there is a tool to send email directly to your shop's client.

    I tried it, I've sent an email to myself and I received it with no problem.

    My domain, different from the client's one, is also hosted on the same server!!

    I thought it didn't would work but it did. mmmh... how??! :confused:

    Si is it working now? If not, we'd have to check out the contents of /etc/sysconfig/postfix...

    At the moment I can't check it anymore.
    The client was chasing so I sent all the oscommerce emails to one of my email address in the company and then forwarded the emails to the real email address.

    it works...

    Thanks anyway for your help!
