The problem: I have 2 emails:

info@myhost.com

clientmail@anotherhost.com

When email is sent with help of PHP the email to clientmail@anotherhost.com is delivered, but email to info is not - user info doesn't exists.

I have postfix installed on myhost.com server, and no email server.

How to make postfix send mails to outside world to address info@myhost.com?

"no email server" -> postfix is not listening on port 25. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Jan 12 at 12:45
If you have Postfix, then you do have a mail server. Your question needs to explain where you want the mail to go, given that your mail system appears, without such an explanation, to be doing the right thing. (Mail sent to a mailbox that is on the local system is delivered locally, failing if there's not in fact a mailbox by that name.) – JdeBP Jan 12 at 12:47

I have postfix installed ... and no email server.

Postfix is your mail server, and it uses local delivery if it discovers that your recipient's domain is the same as its own.

Edit main.cf and remove myhost.com, $mydomain, and similar entries from the mydestinations setting. This should make Postfix deliver messages to myhost.com over the network. ($myhostname and localhost can and perhaps even should remain.)
