Hrm. But keith can receive email? (I guess so, I'm emailing you
there...)

This looks fine. That's using mail(1)?

That went through Postfix's local pickup routines.

And this, I presume, is squirrelmail?

It sounds to me like localhost isn't listed in $relay_domains.
Usually that includes $mydestination, but you may not want to put
localhost in $mydestination (it'll get mail @localhost treated as a
"local", which gets special treatment; but if you're hosting more
than one domain on that system, that may not make sense).

Both those settings should be in /etc/postfix/main.cf (modulo where
your Postfix config files live).
