This is a bit unusual, normally the connection starts with a client
connect entry. Is that a mail that was injected locally via sendmail?
Also, the message id usually contains the hostname, and here the
hostname is obviously "localhost.localdomain".

Here is an example log from my server:

What does "postconf myhostname" say?

katgar:~ # postconf myhostname
myhostname = japantest.homelinux.com

Please note that katgar is the internal server name.
