I am *still* able to ping kananga.mydomain successfully.

When i try "host -a kananga.mydomain", I get : Host kananga not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I'm pretty sure host ignores /etc/hosts. It's a tool for making DNS queries, it will query your DNS server, and if you haven't configured kananga.mydomain there, it will fail. Have you set the "myhostname" and "mydomain" in /etc/postfix/main.cf (or through the /etc/sysconfig/postfix interface) so postfix knows to accept mail for those names?
