[gentoo-user] Posfix not processing outgoing mail

Using a web mail interface for most things, I don't send much mail out on
this
machine. So, I did not notice immediately when it stopped working.

On Oct 20, my logs show a transition into inpoerability:

Oct 20 07:13:10 treat postfix/smtpd[8622]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
unknown[218.144.213.10 <http://218.144.213.10>]: 554 <wolfie62@korea.com>:

hrtvguu@cnn.com> to=<wolfie62@korea.com> proto=SMTP

and eventually, they looked like this:

And mail is not moving locally. Anybody know what I should be looking at?

All this stuff has Just Worked(TM) for so long, I have no clue about how to
administer Postfix.
