http://www.hserus.net/postfix.html (which is a copy and paste from the
postfix FAQ)

don't set mydomain like this... or myorigin either.  Set bogus (but
fully qualified) domain names like example.com (which is guaranteed not
to resolve).  Then use a mail client that sets the envelope sender
properly (like mutt - http://www.hserus.net/muttrc.html for more)

Here's your mistake.  You need to use domain literal addressing if you
specify an IP as your relayhost.

As the sample postfix main.cf on freebsd (/usr/ports/mail/postfix
preferably - postfix-current looks a bit older than postfix right now)

#relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress]  

      --srs

LOST #119        -**< Sub : How to make a Loadlin bootdisk >**-
This is the simplest way making your own boot disk.  Totally a 
DOS prompt job. In DOS [1] "format a: /s/v" [2] Copy two files
your kernel (usually vmlinuz) and "loadlin.exe" to it, [3] and  
make a one-line config.sys to point to your / device and boot:
e.g. "shell=a:\loadlin.exe a:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro"
