In main.cf, set "relayhost = smtp.rcn.com

This tells postfix that any mail it is to send *must* be sent to 
smtp.rcn.com, and smtp.rcn.com will then send the mail on to its final 
destination.

Then, in your mail client, you designate your instance of postfix as the 
outgoing mail server.  *However*, you really don't have to do all this, and 
endure the hassle of having to learn SMTP and Postfix, if all you want to 
do is send and receive email.  Just set your outgoing mail server for all 
your accounts to smtp.rcn.com and let them do all the work for you.
