Postfix problems

[mgc6288]

Ok I have been stumbling with Postfix for almost two weeks now. I have been to postfix.org and read their howto...although I am still confused. I have also read somewhere that I should recompile since the Fedora install does not come with MySQL support...I won't be learning it for a while so do I still need this? Anyhoos, my mission is to receive my email (all before the @) from my domain name www.domainName.org and then be able to retrieve it on my XP Pro which is connected via my LAN.

What I have tinkered with so far is main.cf with the following:

myhostname = www.domainName.org
mynetworks = 192.168.x.x/24, 127.0.0.0/8

Also, what ports should I forward for postfix, POP3, and IMAP?

This is about all I can figure out...so now I am humbly asking for assistance. Thank you.

Forward ports for what? From your firewall?

Does your dns point to your machine that you want to receive this domainname for?

We need more info.

Yes I am using dyndns' Custom DNS to point my registered domain name to my dynamic IP. I then have a Linksys BEFSR81 router which I know I will need to forward the correct ports to my server.

UPDATE:
Ok I figured out that it is only port 25 that I need to forward. I got my XP Pro pop3 to log into my Fedora user account. Now my question is there a way to get catchall to work for a domain to this user?
