If you put square brackets around an IP address, the MX lookup won't
be done. E.g,
relayhost = [10.1.1.1]
Substitute the correct IP address for sloxmail.
Postfix does DNS lookups. You can make Postfix work without DNS, but
it takes more time than setting up a local DNS server. Or just use IP
addresses.
