    I suggest remove this, even though it does not do any harm.
    By default postfix picks this up from mydomain and will accept messages
    only for this domain from the 'Net.

    Typically, the "stock" master.cf is sufficient to do what you are trying
    to do. I suggest keep tweaking the params in main.cf. Is .perso a
    valid TLD? I tried "whois mecum.perso" and it complained it did not
    know of a whois server for .perso object. Perhaps this is what postfix
    is complaining about as well.

    I suggest you go in the following manner to setup postfix.

    1) Get your Intranet clients (10.0.0.0/8) to send outbound emails
    (relay) thru postfix.
    2) For local Intranet accounts send mail in the form
    <user>@mecum.dodin.org (this makes the host fully qualified)
    3) Ensure MX for dodin.org is pointing to the correct IP address of the
    server where postfix is running.
    4) Get postfix to accept messages from the 'Net. Once this is working,
    mail to <user>@dodin.org will work as well i.s.o <user>@mecum.dodin.org.

    HTH,
