It should be your actual host name, preferably what you specified in /etc/hosts

Check the log files to see what's going. If I had to guess, I'd bet it's permission problems. Postfix won't create a maildir if the user doesn't own the local dir. Try the following if Postfix complains about dirs in the logs.
chown -R localuser:users /home/localuser
where localuser is a the user you want to fix.

Feb 17 18:30:05 [postfix/qmgr] 07B7A3A2D: from=<www@mail.johnajordan.com>, size=556, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

Hmmm that doesn't look right. My logs show this for a delivery
| Code: |
Feb 17 15:00:35 src@bandwidth postfix/local[1565]: 61E0D3A248D: to=<kashani@badapple.net>, rela
y=local, delay=0, status=sent (maildir)
|
It looks like the server is accepting the email and then forwarding it somewhere else. Check your /etc/mail/aliases file and your mydestination setting in your main.cf. For what I see in your logs the following should work.
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain

I'd check your mail client for funny settings.
