The mail server doesn't accept your mail because you are providing a EHLO hostname which is not resolvable. you can't just make up hostnames and expect to talk to other mail servers. The error message looks specific to postfix. If you are using a dialup connection or a ADSL connection then attempt to check which hostname is appropriate for your ip address and use that instead.
