Okay, this could be a problem. Please set myhostname to a fully
qualified name (mail.aerosoul.com.au).
"mydestination = mail" ist not unusable.

The recommendation is also NOT to use a cname entry. Please use an A
record to resolve your mx name.
I hope you have also set up a reverse lookup for your mx ip locally.
