Everything seems to be working except local mail delivery.  If the mail is 
sent *through* the mail server, it is delivered, but if a foreign MTA 
attempts to send mail to the domain, it ends up sitting in the queue and is 
not delivered to the final recipient.

Here's a mail list response from Weitse that explains how to fix the 
problem:

However, it did not work for me.  I had to make deinstall distclean 
postfix, then make deinstall libgnugetopt and reinstall postfix to solve 
the problem.  There is definitely a problem with libgnugetopt and postfix. 
Now the queue is clearing and mail is being received.

On second thought, it *may* be related to the SPF option.  I'll have to do 
more testing.
