    I'll try to but AFAIK rr.com blocks my mails... all
    these helpful anti-spam measures...

    localhost unknown? Hmm, that's unusual...
    Anyway, try to upgrade your submit.mc file:

    8.12.7/8.12.7 2002/12/29
    ...
            CONFIG: Use FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]') in submit.mc by default
                    to avoid problems with hostname resolution for localhost
                    which on many systems does not resolve to 127.0.0.1 (or
                    ::1 for IPv6). If you do not use IPv4 but only IPv6 then
                    you need to change submit.mc accordingly, see the comment
                    in the file itself.
