Not that it'd matter (I think, tad tired today:) but I do have it like:
127.0.0.1 apmx.ap1.se apmx localhost.localdomain localhost

See my reply to Steve. That will not work for you.

Why don't you qualify the postmaster address? With that you'd rely on
whatever postfix will add as $myorigin ... Which seems to be "localhost"
for some reason.... That cannot be right.
Do:
postconf | egrep "^my"
... and check what you have myhostname, mydomain and myorigin set to.

Basically, localhost.localdomain would be enough to fool postfixs 
reject_non_fqdn_hostname ... You could try removing that restriction
from main.cf, and do a
postfix reload
... Then it should just work. Downside is that you lose the feature...
At least temporarily while figuring out what the blazes is going on:-).
