Thanks, very much. So when I hit "Send" on sylpheed, it goes on a tailspin, and 
says: Connecting to SMTP server: localhost

Looking at the /var/log/maillog as you suggested, I get:

Oct  1 14:08:00 localhost postfix/smtpd[4142479]: fatal: in parameter 
smtpd_relay_restrictions or smtpd_recipient_restrictions, specify at least one 
working instance of: reject_unauth_destination, defer_unauth_destination, 
reject, defer, defer_if_permit or check_relay_domains
Oct  1 14:08:01 localhost postfix/master[1216]: warning: process

Oct  1 14:08:01 localhost postfix/master[1216]: warning: 
/usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

And here is what happens when I send mail from the commandline:

What should I be looking at from here? The thing is that sylpheed is set up 
exactly the same for my home (the same machine).

Many thanks,
Ranjan
