Do you refer to your mail Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>?
mynetworks=127.0.0.1/8 does instruct postfix to accept mails from 127/8. This
includes localhost. This has nothing to do at all with From and To addresses.
# By default, Postfix relays mail
# - from trusted clients whose IP address matches $mynetworks,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this included
localhost
in your example.
# - from trusted clients matching $relay_domains or subdomains thereof,
# - from untrusted clients to destinations that match $relay_domains
# or subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing.
# The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
#
# In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail
# that Postfix is final destination for:
# - destinations that match $inet_interfaces,
# - destinations that match $mydestination
# - destinations that match $virtual_maps.
# These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains.
