postfix and comcast?

[Marc Evans]

I have been finding that some mail servers are not permitting mail to be
sent from IP addresses which have been designated by their holders as
dynamically assigned. To get arounf this, postfix has a map that can be
used to instead send from your host to the ISP's SMTP server, which then
relays the message to the destination. For example, given my ISP is
adelphia, I have added these to my transport map:

	aol.com         smtp:mail.adelphia.net
	.rr.com         smtp:mail.adelphia.net

I suspect that you may need something similiar.
