I don't know why the mailserver at wyvern.net is stripping stuff, but the
reason the two at the top of the list are localhost and the name of the local
box is that you have your mailserver set up that way. Mine is the same way.
I'm a sendmail guy, not a postfix guy, but notice what happens when I walk
through the handshake when sending mail. In this case I'm logged on to my
mailserver (hope.billoblog.com) and am sending mail. What does my mailserver
do? It talks to itself -- as localhost!

For me as a sendmail user, the reason it does this (as far as I can tell) is
that localhost appears before hope.billoblog.com in the file /etc/access. My
/etc/access file looks like:
Connect:localhost.localdomain RELAY
Connect:localhost RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1 RELAY
Connect:billoblog.com RELAY
If I change that to:
Connect:localhost.localdomain DISCARD
Connect:localhost DISCARD
Connect:127.0.0.1 DISCARD
Connect:billoblog.com RELAY
Then my handshake looks like this. Note that localhost has dropped from
the picture.
