Postfix newbie - send to ISP SMTP server not working
I thought I'd try postfix (after seeing the evil that is sendmail and even its m4 syntax, yuch) as it was easy. Well using fetchmail I receive fine, but mail does not get to my ISPs SMTP server.
(I've replaced my real domain name with domain.com)
I use several pop3 boxes to hold my mail on the internet. The main one is domain.com. I use fetchmail to grab the mail and stuff it into postfix. That works very well. I can then use squirrelmail with my imap and pop3 servers to view my mail. However, sending of mail does not work. I cannot find the answer, nor any bounce messages!
Please read the details and suggest any options, thanks in advance.

Some details:
ISP = pandora.be, cable modem
Me = RH 7.3 on intel
local domain = 192.168.0.x on eth1, 213.119.x.x from ISP DHCP on eth0
ISPs SMTP server = smtp.pandora.be
I've successfully telneted in there and using SMTP command syntax sent a mail to my self at hotmail! Transcript:

No problems at my hotmail inbox, everything is great. Just postfix wont transport mail for me and I don't know why.
