nobody out there is interested on your NAT

the server on the other side is seeing only your public address
and your public adress have a hostname / ptr and your postfix should
match this hostname

the dns do not lie, you never connect outside with anything of your
NAT because the nature of NAt is to be transparent

that is why you should NOT direct mail from every single machine
and setup ONE LAN-Relay which normally use a clean relay-host and
does NOT direct send mails as long it is not needed

so you can comment out realy-host temorary, restart postfix
and all other machines in your LAN are working as expected

now you come even with "direct send from a notebook"
jesus christ this is really ignorant!

that is why i said "do not send directly" unless your whole
configuration is clean (dns, HELO,...) and as long you want
that your messages are received and not rejected or even
silently dropped
