How do you know it is postfix? There is nothing here which indictes it.
Is it because you know you have postfix installed so that is why you say
"looks like postfix".?

A misconfiguration? Who knows? It probably doesn't matter for your
problem.

There are only two ways to get email. Either it is delivered to you or
you go and collect it, often with POP3, What method do you use? Have it
delivered or go to collect?
