Correct me if I'm wrong:
Suppose I configure master.cf to have an smtpd listening to the outside,
and one listening to the inside. I do not want initial submission on the
outside smtpd. The only initial submission allowed is postfix-generated
email (bcc, bounces, maybe more). If a configurable option would exist,
such as "fix_headers = permit_mynetworks, reject" I think a lot of users
would be happy.
Similar story for a relay-only MTA that needs just one smtpd of course.

Am I wrong when I think message-id is generated from $myhostname and
append_at_myorigin is for From/To fixes ?
Unfortunately there's lots of questions and lots of warnings about
append_at_myorigin. So far I've been unable to determine what would
happen *exactly*. I know I have to be very carefull with aliases and
such. Any insight in this would be much appreciated, especially since
that topic is very close related to my original post.
cheers,
Alex
