You say that X.org should be delivered locally.  Postfix doesn't think
X.org is a local domain.

This appears that you've used "sendmail -t" to inject some mail, and
there was no To: header.
Don't rely on headers for mail routing.

You might want to add
mydestination = $mydomain $myhostname localhost

Bad idea.  If you add a transport for eg. hotmail, you become an
instant open relay.  Don't reuse transport_maps this way.

If mail is delivered locally on this box, relay_domains should be
explicitly set empty.
relay_domains =

Mail that's permitted by "permit_mynetworks" or submitted via the
sendmail(1) interface won't trigger the policy server in your config.
