Well I've gone thru the last 3 months of archived messages for this group,
and I was unable to find this particualr problem described for anyone else.

My Setup:
My Own Domain using FC1, behind a NAT Router, Dynaminc IP from ISP

This particular message was sent directly from the server using WebMail
(happens from the command line too).  I feel like the answer is just beyond
my reach, I'm guessing it's a simple fix but after 4 days of setting up my
1st Linux box I'm just ready for someone to *thump* me on the head and point
this one out to me.  

thanks in advance!

Configure sendmail to deliver mail directly instead of relaying your
mail to your ISP.  It is extremely unlikely that your ISP is going to
configure their mail servers as open relays for you.

Well, since I'm on dynamic IP, and my ISP has told the internet what their
dynamic IP range is, alot of servers will not accept email from me.  One
even told me to relay thru my ISP.  heh

Wow, it seems you're living in a different universe... If there is one
service beyond plain IP connectivity that an ISP absolutely has to
provide to their customers in this day and age, it is mail relaying. Of
course this doesn't mean that they provide *open* relays. To the OP:
Check cf/README for SMART_HOST.

I don't agree with that. Every ISP I know of has SMTP servers that allow
relaying for their dynamic IP pool, some providers even block all other
traffic on port 25.

ok re: my issue, It appears to me that I am presenting myself as
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], so obviously I have something configu
red
wrong.  I assume my ISP is blocking the relay because the loop back IP is
considered a bad relay.
thanks

So do what it says, use BellSouth's _outgoing_ mail relay (NOT their MX).
If you are attempting to do this, but are misdirected due to MX for the
relay name, put the relay name in square brackets [smtp.bellsouth.net] o
r
whatever, so the MX will be ignored.  Even if that requires
authentication, sendmail or postfix can act as SMTP AUTH client.

You could give your box a real hostname instead of localhost.localdomain.
I use no-ip.com names and update that to my adsl IP with their client run
from /etc/ppp/ip-up (and pointed to static LAN IP in /etc/hosts).  But
since you are behind a router, you would either need to run a DNS update
client as a daemon (to periodically have them grab your public IP), or
find some way to monitor the router (possibly with syslog)  to tell when
its WAN IP changes.
