Weird. If I comment out the smtpd_recipient_restrictions, that lets
email through, so I tried removing restriction, restarting postfix and
then sending an email to check if emails start working. Email didn't
start working until I removed the smtpd_recipient_restrictions all
together. Even the following would result in all incoming email being
blocked.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit
This seems more than a tad wrong
