I generally set 'myorigin = $mydomain', personally.  I also generally
put my full hostname in /etc/hostname, which renders myhostname
superfluous.

Probably superfluous.  You can easily find out what things you've set
that are truly different from the defaults by doing 'postconf -n'.

I do all my delivery over lmtp, so I don't know what to suggest here.

I assume /etc/mail/local-host-names is a file with a list of domain
names to accept, one per line?  You probably want to actually
reference that as 'mydestination = /etc/mail/local-host-names'.

I don't know exactly what /etc/mail/virtusertable is gonna contain or
exactly how it's used in sendmail.  There should be a file called
VIRTUAL_README with postfix that covers pretty much all the bases.
