I do have webmin running on the server, and can see postfix there.

Well I am not sure what you write here.

Here's the test:

[root at gateway /]# telnet relay-test.mail-abuse.org
Trying 168.61.4.13...
Connected to relay-test.mail-abuse.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
/proj/maps/bin/in.relaytest: socket failed [Bad file descriptor]
Connecting to 80.199.7.181 ...
Connection closed by foreign host.

The last IP is my fixed one.

I am a member of the Postfix list :-)
