The domain is my own local home lan.  Last year I retired the
system acting as the mail server.  On the replacement server
I'm using postfix for the first time.  Users get their mail
from the server via POP3.  When I sent mail for someone on
the local lan, I was getting loops of the message being passed
back and forth but not delivered to the users mailbox on the
server.

The problem was "fixed" by making mail addressed to the domain
be delivered locally, i.e. local to the originating host.  Thus
to get mail to someone else's workstation I had to add their
host name to the address.

I think I've found a solution/workaround in the postfix config,
but I'm still puzzled why this send hook had no effect.

  send-hook   '~t [email protected]'   'my_hdr To: [email protected]'
