Just to cover your confusion. The local delivery agent is the process used
to deliver mail to local mail files (Either Maildir or UNIX style
mailbox). In your instance your users are 'local' (i.e. they have their
mailboxes hosted on the local machine). If you ever host domains where
your box is just a gateway (See the wiki for further details) then you
will be using the virtual delivery agent which requires you to explicity
define both the user and the domain that Postfix will accept. Further
reading on this can be done here
http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html#delivering which explains it much
better ;-)

Glad things are working now. Enjoy!

Drew
