For now, it's good that anything not of my "fantasy" FQDN:
http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html#fantasy
of dur.bounceme.net which no-ip.com provides free as a host gets mailed out.
Definitely, I don't want to inadvertently spam the internet (even just
my own account). However, if I did want postfix to send out these
messages, which originate with mailman, it's the mydestination value
which restricts sending mail out?
thufir@dur:~$
thufir@dur:~$ tail -n 3 /var/log/mail.log
