Postfix:
# The local machine is always the final destination for mail addressed
# to user@[the.net.work.address] of an interface that the mail system
# receives mail on (see the inet_interfaces parameter).

RFC 2821:
   [...] For
   IPv4 addresses, this form uses four small decimal integers separated
   by dots and enclosed by brackets such as [123.255.37.2], which
   indicates an (IPv4) Internet Address in sequence-of-octets form.

Try sending yourself an email at yourusername at 127.0.0.1 and see if it 
arrives.

However, I have just found a bug in KMail/kio_smtp/KURL: I sent myself 
an email at thiago@[127.0.0.1], but the address got rewritten and the 
brackets vanished, which made the email go into oblivion somewhere. 
Therefore, I get from my ISP:

<thiago at 127.0.0.1>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. 
(#5.4.6)

We know it's wrong, so don't perpetuate the bug.
