To test your MX, you can try this http://www.dnscolos.com (or on another
website, try "dns report" on Google), this will give you ideas to know
if your MX is ok or not.

For your hostname, you should put "server.paris.fr" and for
mydestination, try with this : $myhostname localhost, localhost.localdomain

I advise you to search for a documentation about "postfix installation".
