I'm not sure what you're upto, our what your setup is, but I suspect
a small glitch here. What happens now is that all your mail that you
fetched from postoffice.worldnet.att.net is send to some user named
tony at mailhost.worldnet.att.net whoever that may be. I suspect that
that's not you as your name at your IPS's smtp server seems to be arodriguez.
The normal setup is to have no smtphost specified and hence use the default
of localhost. Be sure to setup Exim or what ever you use as your local
smtp server to allow relaying for localhost!
