show this what I need to know is can I search every file on my machine
for the string "example.com[192.0.34.165]" This is getting set somewhere
but I can't seem to find it.

What does mailq say ?

There's probably something else but let's start with the simple stuff.

Well thats an interesting question since my mailq doesnt seem to excist.
Its a link to sendmail. I followed the postfix install doc and it said
to rename it to postfix.mailq

idunno but i'm not so sure 'example.com' is text from your machine.
first note the ip# 192.0.34.166 is a legit number. do something
like 'dig example.com' and lo, A 192.0.34.166.

name[number] notation often means 'name' is what's been given (HELO)
and number is ip# of actual connection.

it looks like your machine is trying to send mail to you@example.com,
and example.com is answering the HELO but ignoring you after that.

How did you install ?

Wietse includes a very good build script that does just about everything
(assuming you don't use the pre-built packages from www.linuxpackages.net).
If you did the whole thing by hand there's a fair chance you screwed
something up.

oof, no - your machine is trying to send mail to you@example.com,
pulled the ip# out of DNS, tried to open SMTP and finally timed out
because example.com is happily ignoring you.
