Only a clue, sorry. I'd recently been at postfix's Web site &
am pretty sure I'd seen something about this in their support
docs...maybe a faq. I think though...

...it's something to do with your loopback. I've read of
something which I think was simillar with sendmail that if
in...um, I can't think of the file, but it lists only loopback &
host name in /etc (/etc/hosts?). Sometimes the order of the two
is wrong.
As for a file which ~might~ show something wrong, try
/etc/postfix/main.cf
