I am trying to setup an old RHL-6.1 486 using postfix-20010228release
(don't ask, OK? Upgrading isn't an issue. That's the latest rpm I can
find that works with this rpm-3.x.) to relay mail through my ISP. I've

been trying many things, with varying levels of failure. Can anybody
tell me how to fix this? (Customized part of main.cf follows my sorry
log of failures.)
