[ale] postfix problems with mindspring

All,  

I seem to have lost the recipe for sending postfix mail (from the mail command) to computers outside of mindspring.com.  
a simple mail -s test john < Message.txt works for the john account on the box.
a simple mail -s test john at mindspring.com < Message.txt works for my mail from mindspring.com

I can not send mail anymore outside of mindspring.com..

I have not changed anything.  This seems to have "broken" after a long lapse of not using text based email.

I have distilled the main.cf file down to a readable level.  Does anything look obviously broken?

I am on redhat 9. I on a linksys home network... 192.168.1.xx  A peek at /var/log does not reveal anything obvious.  What should I see if the relay is not working?

John
