    You should provide a bit more information than "something's wrong, what
    is it?"

    See http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail

    Otherwise we can only guess:
    - check your /etc/hosts file for an entry
       127.0.0.1 localhost
    - check your /etc/resolv.conf for an entry `order host,bind` or something
