In case you need to make Postfix look in your local /etc/hosts files before doing DNS lookup add following in main.cf file:
| 1 2 | lmtp_host_lookup = native smtp_host_lookup=native | 
Don’t forget to restart Postfix:
| 1 | service postfix restart | 
Now you send test letter:
| 1 | echo Hi there, how are you? | mail -s "test mail" root | 
And check /var/log/maillog to make sure Postfix gets IP from /etc/hosts file.
Good luck!
