It actually is pretty self explanationary. It means that a mail was
received (from a host that is allowed to relay, in this case
localhost), destined for a domain for which the mail server is the
primary MX, but Postfix is not set to deliver the mail locally so
would otherwise try to relay it back to itself. This is detected to
prevent relaying loops.
Check your $mydestination setting.
This was in fact set correctly - amongst the first things I checked.
The issue was with "Code Listing 2.5: /etc/postfix/transport" in the
Mailfilter Guide, which of course I followed blindly. The guide
states at the beginning that "This server is meant to run in front of
the mail servers actually keeping the mail accounts" but I wanted to
deliver to local maildirs; it seems that code listing 2.5 is the only
section that needs to be changed in order to achieve this, hence my
overlooking it.
For local delivery /etc/postfix/transport should read:
mydomain.tld local:
Stroller.
