[TriLUG] relaying outgoing mail through external SMTP server with Postfix

Ok...so I added some entries to my transport file, to be relayed thru
RR's servers.  Then I did "sudo postmap transport".  Just to be safe,
I restarted postfix.

So how do I verify that it actually worked?

I expected to find one of RR's servers in the "Received 'by'" headers
in a message that should have been relayed through smtp-server at nc.rr.com.

What I found was:

Received: from christophermerrill.net (cpe-024-211-150-015.nc.rr.com [24.211.150.15])	by webperformanceinc.com 
(8.12.9/8.12.6) with ESMTP id h5R1nlwj096031	for <chris at webperformanceinc.com>; Thu, 26 Jun 2003 19:49:47 -0600 (MDT)
Received: from christophermerrill.net (localhost [127.0.0.1])	by christophermerrill.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 
3686373B7B	for <chris at webperformanceinc.com>; Thu, 26 Jun 2003 21:49:17 -0400 (EDT)
Received: (from root at localhost)	by christophermerrill.net (8.12.8/8.12.8/Submit) id h5R1nG3j005261	for 
chris at webperformanceinc.com; Thu, 26 Jun 2003 21:49:16 -0400

(the message was sent from root at christophermerrill.net to chris at webperformanceinc.com)

I don't see any of RR's server in the headers.  Am I reading them wrong?
