It appears that part of my problem is that I didn't understand how to properly send a message.  I have postfix only listening on the loopback interface.  It appears like I will have to change the config so it listens on the eth0 interface.  Then I have to setup user authentication on postfix.  Finally I have to open the smtp port on the firewall.  I was hoping that I could just use the local mutt to post a message.  Does this sound about right?

Thanks,
