The innocent or the guilty? :-)
Obfuscating domain names don't protect you, since it's all public info
anyway, and can hinder the troubleshooting process.

$mydomain is not listed as a $mydestination.
You'll probably want something like:
myhostname = some_hostname.$mydomain
mydomain = foobar.net
mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, barfoo.co.uk, foobar.info,
barfoobar.net, localhost.$mydomain

Did you say you downloaded the source files? Did you download Postfix 2.x or
1.1.11? I believe (and I could be wrong) that Postfix 1.1.11 comes with Red
Hat as the alternate package to Sendmail. Unless you have a compelling
reason to stay with 1.1.11, I would suggest you try Postfix 2.x.

Some info then: "postconf" lists all parameters that Postfix is configured
with. "postconf -d" lists the defaults, and "postconf -n" lists only the
parameters that you've changed. The sample-**.cf files are most useful to
find out what certain parameters do. You'll find them very useful later. You
can type "postconf <parameter_name>" to see the current setting for that
parameter only.
If you haven't read through the info at
<URL:http://www.postfix.org/basic.html>, then I would highly recommend that
you do. Also, see the Postfix FAQ <URL:http://www.postfix.org/faq.html> for
some example configurations (very much simplified compared to what Ralf has
on his site).
