Yes there is a router connecting the lan to the internet.  And I do have it
set up to forward port 25 through to the linux box running postfix.

Umm Not sure about the tail command and when I typed in tail -f... I just
got blank lines and no other command lines?  What am I doing wrong?  

Also I uninstalled postfix and I am about to re-install and start fresh.
Sorry to be so ignorant.  Also thank you Alexander for educating me so
eloquently on proper etiquette.

Thanks aganin,
