SOLVED (I think):
in main.cf I had made these changes:

#2009.01.27 commented out this line today:
#mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
#receiving mail for nobody now (I hope)
mydestination =

I had to undo that and now I can send emails addressed to u...@localhost.

I put it back to just mydestination = localhost

Have I lost any security? My intention was that this server would never
receive any emails. I only want it to send. Not sure why the above affects
my ability to send mail to u...@localhost. Does this make sense?

Have I resolved it in the correct way?

Thanks.
