http://askubuntu.com/a/155676/45156 says to remove $mydomain from
mydestination = $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
but why? Just as anything to @localhost should get spooled to
/var/mail/, shouldn't $mydomain similarly get spooled exactly as
localhost? Isn't that rather the point, to spool only what's in
mydestination, anything else gets bounced or sent on?
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# grep mydestination /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydestination = localhost
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# telnet localhost 25

This sorta kinda works, in that at least the message is "accepted",
although it's later bounced. Why is the user unknown? To my mind, the
user should be known.
