Your E-Mail address doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the domain
name of your ISP. I can assure you that *my* ISP is not akamail.com. :-)
It appears that Mandrake has this mailing list set up to strip off all
headers prior to the message arriving at their server. Otherwise, I'd tell
you to take a look at the headers for *this* message for examples of how
none of that matters. :-)
Just FYI, it's been my experience that if you're running into a site which
says that they don't accept direct delivery from ISP customers, that site
has the IP address range of the dialup/DSL/ISDN bank for your ISP, and are
refusing to accept direct port 25 connections from within that space due to
the problem with spammers trying to fly under the radar of their own ISP
when making a spam run (by bypassing the SMTP server for said ISP). In
cases such as that, your only real choice is to set relayhost to your ISP's
mail server. Setting your postfix configuration to have it report the same
domain as your ISP won't do anything to help.
