I've set up postfix on my system, and it accepts mail for delivery to my
chosen domain. However, it won't deliver it. It's all hung in the
queues, and local has been running forever trying to deliver it.
Fortunately, my ISPs mail guru also is on this list, but he is also
baffled. Here's postconf -n:

[ferretferret ferret]$ /usr/sbin/postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
in_flow_delay = 1s
inet_interfaces = all
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, unix:passwd.byname
mail_owner = postfix
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail/
mailbox_transport = local
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
mydomain = tcns.us
myhostname = smtp.tcns.us
mynetworks_style = subnet
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /etc/postfix/README_FILES
relay_domains = $mydestination
sample_directory = /etc/postfix/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
[ferretferret ferret]$

and here's a tail of my /var/log/maillog:
[ferretferret ferret]$ sudo tail /var/log/maillog

[ferretferret ferret]$

Any help would be greatly appreicated. Thank you.
