I did a manual smtp message and it went through.  The problem was and I 
do mean was, that messages sent from my linux box were using the header 
"from raul at saidin.asmodean.net"  After seeing I didn't need to change 
anything in the main.cf of postfix I found a nice little setting of mutt 
and set it like this: "set envelope_from=yes"  Now since that is set 
then mutt uses the information in the "From:" header which is "From: 
Raul A. Gallegos <raul at asmodean.net>"  Now it works.  If you look at 
these headers of this message you will see it right.  Also, now in my 
postfix log it shows that "raul at asmodean.net" sends messages and not 
"raul at saidin.asmodean.net"  I bet mailing lists like those from 
smartgroups and yahoogroups look at that.  I could successfully send 
mail to anyone using mailman for mailing list software.  Too bad yahoo 
and smartgroups don't use mailman.


Thanks for your suggestions.
