And what does the bounce (or Postfix's mail.log) say is the reason why
it's undeliverable?

My main development machine's IP is actually in DNS as msapiro.net. I
have Postfix on that machine configured with mydomain and myhostname =
msapiro.net and mydestination = msapiro.net, localhost.localdomain,
localhost.

My other machines (traveling laptops) are similar, but I also have

127.0.0.1  msapiro.net

in /etc/hosts to override the DNS.
