Have you set the default route and enabled ip forwarding?

Also you don’t need to add a route for connected interfaces

Thanks for your quick response.  Packet forwarding is enabled and I am
using shorewall to have normal firewall settings.

Postfix is trying to deliver some mail (not all) to me@this-workstation instead 
of to its own machine, and I can't see why. I've tried a couple of relay-host 
settings, but then I just get "warning: relayhost configuration problem" in the 
log, so relay-host is now back to its default value.

Here's an excerpt from main.cf:

myhostname = serv.
mydomain = 
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain

I've tried omitting $mydomain from that last line, but it didn't help.

Can anyone see what I'm missing? (More of main.cf if needed.)
