postfix - host unknown


Hi,
i want to setting up my postfix for my domain and for the localhost users.

this is my config of main.cf

Code:
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
mydomain = segalsites.org
inet_interfaces = localhost
mydestination=$myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,localhost,$mydomain
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
html_directory = no
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/samples
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/README_FILES
when i try :
Code:
echo hi | sendmail -f root root && tail -50 /var/log/maillog > `tty`
i get the next result :
Code:

i can see it has a problem to find the host, but why?

Try inet_interfaces = all if you want to receive mail anywhere from the local machine btw

Are you actually using postfix? You shouldn't be getting sendmail in your logs if you are (I tried your code and get postfix/qmgr[6771] in mine)
