Thx, those are helpful but I'm appartently still not getting it
right. Still failing like so:

(This has been snipped from all lines below:
    `Jan 14 15:28:54 localhost')


postfix/pickup[23288]: 40BBD492: uid=1000 from=<reader>
postfix/cleanup[23322]: 40BBD492: message-id=<20210114202854.40BBD492@localhost>
postfix/qmgr[23289]: 40BBD492: from=<rea...@local.lan>, size=374, nrcpt=1 
(queue active)
postfix/smtp[23324]: connect to smtp.newsguy.com[74.209.136.63]:25: Connection 
timed out
postfix/smtp[23324]: 40BBD492: to=<rea...@newsguy.com>, relay=none, delay=30, 
delays=0.16/0.17/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 
smtp.newsguy.com[74.209.136.63]:25: Connection timed out)

Does this line from above indicate that messages are still going out
with `from=<rea...@local.lan> as sender from?

postfix/qmgr[23289]: 40BBD492: from=<rea...@local.lan>, size=374, nrcpt=1 
(queue active)

I ask because I do have a 'generic.db' file in place.  (content of
generic file below)

Is that inserted somewhere in postfix configuration or done with
cmdline?

Still not clear where the sendmail -f is done.  The way you've written
the line ... with leading `$', it appear to be done on command line.
But clearly not something you would be doing with each mail... so
where is the sendmail -f line set?

I'm going to include my full main.cf, generic and munged sasl_passwd
since I'm not really clear what is supposed to be in there... I've
tried the generic file recommended at one of urls you suggested:
http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html#fantasy

PS: /etc/postfix/generic and /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd have been
postmapped and postfix reloaded.
