Indeed, it *is* working right.
However, after looking at your headers, I think there is some room for further improvement. It looks like you're forwarding all of your outbound mail to the RR MTA. This is only necessary for a few braindead ISP's that block incoming mail originating from all broadband users. In Postfix you can set up a transport map so that, for example, all mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets routed through your ISP's relay. All other mail can go directly from your host to the final destination. This improves transit time, and reduces your dependency on the sometimes broken RR servers ("If you want something done right...").
Take a look at the thread starting with this message on how to address the broken ISP scenario more effectively with Postfix:
