That's a rather odd assertion.  Postfix certainly _does_ receive mail.  It 
listens on port 25 (usually) and the interfaces you specify.  If you only 
allow localhost, then essentially it only sends mail.  But if it listens on 
an Internet-connected interface, then it can indeed receive mail.

Yes.
