The data you posted doesn't include your setting for mydestination, so I
would assume default ($myhostname, localhost.$mydomain).  I always add
"localhost" alone to the list.

The "ignore_mx_lookup_error" doesn't get you out of having to have DNS
working, I believe (i.e. having the appropriate entries in /etc/hosts
doesn't do it).  Is your test network also running its own DNS ? Can
postfix deliver to other machines ?
