You weren't really expecting postfix to find a host called
myhost.mydomain in dns were you?

    $ host myhost.mydomain
    Host myhost.mydomain not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

In general you need to have a legit hostname set, or at least a
complete and consistent set of lies that get presented to postfix (eg,
via a doctored up /etc/hosts with a few phony entries for your forged
hostname.)
