Hi there,

I have encountered similar problems.

I don't use mailx, but just this instead:
   for foo in `seq 10` ; do echo "Subject: test $foo of 10" |  /usr/ 
sbin/sendmail stroller@×××××××.com ; done

I was getting localdomain as part of the address, also, and  
consequent mailbounce. I had to set "myhostname = " in /etc/postfix/ 
main.cf in order to overcome this, and find the necessity annoying.

I see you don't have any other replies here, so I'd be grateful if  
you could please keep us (well, me) posted if you experiment further  
or look for advice elsewhere.
