Hey,

here is a copy of my main.cf.  You'll have to replace the relayhost with
the phub for your area, and add the allowed networks into the mynetworks
field.

You also have to add your info to /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd. 

Good luck!
 

sasl_passwd:

smtp.flfrd.phub.net.cable.rogers.com    Rogers_Username:Rogers_Password


main.cf:

# see /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, fuller
# version of this file.

# Do not change these directory settings - they are critical to Postfix
# operation.
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
setgid_group = postdrop

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate delayed mail warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

myhostname = erika
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = erika.megatokyo.home, erika, localhost.localdomain,
localhost
relayhost = smtp.flfrd.phub.net.cable.rogers.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,192.168.2.0/24
#mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter =
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
