I manage a small server whose main service is Hylafax. Hylafax receives
faxes, converts them to PDF and sends them to a group of users. 
Since the group of users is very small and doesn't change often, I decided
to just to use a local alias table. My /etc/aliases contains a line like
the following

    faxlist:   helen@yahoo.com, ulrich@gmail.com, fabio@uol.br

This as works as expected, except for a small detail: the server gets a
dynamic address from the ISP; so anti-spam rules on the destination servers
reject emails coming from my Postfix because it has got a "dial-up IP"...
If I put the ISP's SMTP server on the transport table then destination
servers accept my emails. But my 'faxlist' alias will not work anymore...

Is there a way to use local aliases and relay through an external host? 
For instance, could Postfix expand the local alias 'faxlist' before relaying
the email through the ISP SMTP server?
