The que message show the following..

I can ping this machine via

ping tools

Is there supposed to be some type of handler on tools to accept
messages. How would I know if it were postfix or sendmail?

telnet remote_machine 25

does it connect to a mailer daemon?

How you would know: You should see something like this:

$ telnet remote_machine 25
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to remote_machine.mydomain.com
Escape character is '^]'.
220 remote_machine.mydomain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3; Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:44:05 -0500 (EST)

Note the 'Sendmail'. I don't have a postfix server handy, but presumably it would not emit the S word.
