I am trying to setup posftix and then cyrus but I wanted to first 
install postfix and test it but when I try to send mail to 
root@ip.of.postfix.server I get the following message in mail.log:


postfix/smtpd[743]: warning: Illegal address syntax from unknown[ip of 
sending machine] in RCPT command: root@ip.of.postfix.server


In main.cf  I have added the ip and full hostname to mydestination =
