I have Richard Blum's 2001 book titled "Postfix"
and although it might not match up with your
version exactly (yours is pre mid 2000), I'm
guessing this part hasn't changed much. Anyway,
to stop using the fast flush, in
/etc/postfix/main.cf, change (or add) the line:

fast_flush_policy = none

(reload or restart postfix after this edit)

(other options for fast flush policy are "all"
-to always allow fast flush, and "relay" -where
only hosts defined as relays sites are allowed to
use fast flush).  

But I'm guessing fast flush isn't really your
problem.  Fast flush is just a more efficient way
of passing mail between mail servers, using ETRN
(if you don't know about that, ignore for now).

It SEEMS rather, that postfix simply unable to
route your mail.  Can you pass ANY mail through
your system?  In your log snippet, it says:
(connect to kimi.unitywave.com[65.39.78.58]: No
 route to host).  Some more questions: Can you
ping this mail host?  Can you ping back the other
direction?  Is there a firewall involved?  Can
you make a manual connection to port 25 using
telnet?
