I am trying to set up postfix on my ubuntu server in order to send emails via my isp's smtp server. I seem to have missed something because the mail.log tells me:
Jan
19 11:23:11 mediaserver postfix/smtp[5722]: CD73EA05B7: to=<
[email protected]>, relay=new.mailia.net[85.183.240.20]:25, delay=6.2, delays=5.7/0.02/0.5/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; server new.mailia.net[85.183.240.20] said: 535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: )
The relay "new.mailia.net[85.183.240.20]:25" was not set up by me. I use "relayhost = smtp.alice.de". Why is postfix trying to connect to a different server?
Here is my main.cf:

# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.

biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
