It looks as though e-mails are being rejected due to the fact your postfix server is not announcing itself properly during the HELO handshake process. i.e. non FQDN. This is usually due to a configuration problem in main.cf.

At this point, I can only speculate on where the config problem is. Based on my interpretation of the logfile entry, it looks as though your system is trying to relay to itself for seul.org instead of delivering locally. So it's probably best if you just post the output of:

postconf -n

I'm sure there is confusion on $mydomain and $myhostname $mailname .My system hostname is mail of gabrix.ath.cx domain .Mailname is also gabrix.ath.cx which goes on my users email address user@gabrix.ath.cx is this right ???
My postconf -n:
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
delay_warning_time = 4h
home_mailbox = Maildir/
inet_interfaces = all
mailbox_size_limit = 0
message_size_limit = 0
mydestination = gabrix.ath.cx, mail.gabrix.ath.cx, localhost.gabrix.ath.cx, localhost
mydomain = gabrix.ath.cx
myhostname = mail
mynetworks = 192.168.1.1,192.168.0.0/16,192.168.1.0/24,127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
soft_bounce = yes

myhostname = mail

Try changing the above to:
Code:
myhostname = mail.gabrix.ath.cx
