Having investigated exactly that issue three days ago and found it not 
to be the problem, I am quite confident that it does not.

Do you understand the impact of making a post like you did to the 
question? Those who are skimming mailing lists are not likely to read my 
post because they see it's already been replied to. And those who read 
your post will simply assume I was expecting the list to solve my 
problem without any effort on my part, making the possiblity of a reply 
even less likely. And now these posts will get archived and indexed by 
Google, and someone else will get the misleading advice in a search.

We have already, as I explained, ascertained that there is nothing 
whatsoever wrong with the mydestination setting. So far there looks like 
there is an issue with the transport_maps the pop toaster is using to 
implement mail server clustering that might have an impact on local 
delivery. When I am not about to board a plane, I am going to be looking 
at it further.

Wrong. The hostname is "chandler.sharp.fm":

[root at chandler root]# postconf myhostname
myhostname = chandler.sharp.fm
