<DT><B>Network interface</B><DD><P>The "Network interfaces" option specifies the network interface
addresses that this mail system receives mail on.  By default,
the software claims <EM>all</EM> active interfaces on the machine. The
parameter also controls delivery of mail to user@[ip.address]. This
option sets the "inet_interfaces" postfix variable.
<P>
<DT><B>Destination</B><DD><P>The "Destination" option specifies the list of domains that this
machine considers itself the final destination for. That does not
include domains that are hosted on this machine. Those domains are 
specified elsewhere (see sample-virtual.cf, and sample-transport.cf).
<P>The default is "myhostname + localhost.$mydomain". On a mail domain
gateway, you should also include "$mydomain". Do not specify the
names  of  domains  that  this  machine  is  backup  MX  host  for.
Specify those  names  via  the  "Relay domains"  option  in
'Smtp server program -> Additional UCE controls'.
<P>The local machine is always the final destination for mail addressed
to user@[the.net.work.address] of an interface that the mail system
receives mail on (see the Inet interfaces help).
<P>Specify a list of host or domain names, /file/name or type:table
patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. A /file/name
pattern is replaced by its contents; a type:table is matched when
a name matches a lookup key. This option sets the "inet_interfaces"
postfix variable.
<P>DO NOT LIST VIRTUAL DOMAINS HERE. LIST THEM IN THE TABLE->VIRTUAL ITEM
INSTEAD. BE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE VIRTUAL MANUAL PAGE.
