Hold on: loopback.mydomain is another machine, isn't it? Then it needs to
have an MX entry in the DNS server. I think you might be able to trick
postfix to send to it without that requirement, but you need to write the
IP number on the postfix configuration file somewhere - not sure about
this. [...] Ah, read this, it applies to you:

# On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
# internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
# gateway host instead.
#
# In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
# [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.
# If you specify multiple SMTP destinations, Postfix will try them
# in the specified order.
#
# relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress]

Weird. Perhaps you have copied the configuration from one computer to the
other: if so, change its domain name (/etc/postfix/main.cf):

myhostname = telperion.valinor

Make sure you set the computer name in yast, network configuration,
different for both.
