So even if you do something like
mail chuck
at the command line (with whatever user has a local account) it still
gets sent to the ISP?

relay_host is the host that mail is sent to if it can't be delivered

relay_domains is a list of domains the host will relay mail to.

In /etc/postfix/main.cf what is 'local_recipient_maps' set to? Also,
what about 'mydestination'
If you look in /var/log/maillog what does a message log for a local
user look like when sent using the mail command?
