Hello :)
You did help, because you got me to go back again to google, and there
I found a thread on linuxquestions.org from 2001 that answered my
question, and fixed my problem.
The link is a follows:

I created a file named /etc/mail/relay-domains which has the following
as it's contents:

192.168.1.1

Just got done checking for the test mails that I sent to two hotmail
accounts, and my insightbb.com account.  Verdict: they all arrived
safely :)

Thank you, and have  a Great Day,
