I've changed settings a number of times, but the current output is ...

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = honey, localhost.localdomain, localhost,honey.burgiss.net,burgiss.net
myhostname = honey
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/24
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost = caddie
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database =
btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes

That relay host is another local linux system that I was trying to see
if maybe anything was going out the door and not being logged. Nope.

halb at honey:~$ mailq
Mail queue is empty

Its a blackhole. It disappears. I've manually checked /var/mail. And
looked for .deadletter files and such. Any and all mail just vanishes
without a trace. Odd.
