If the domain you setup is uniben.edu, the error below let me think you can send
mail elsewhere but cannot send to your own domain nor receive from outside.

=> If you send mail to 'your' domain uniben.edu, your postfix don't
have a clue about this domain and then query the DNS for MX record,
DNS record say that the MX for uniben.edu point back to your postfix
(hence the loop back).

If uniben.edu is the domain you just setup, put it in in the variable
mydestination=(in the file master.cf), reload postfix and try again.

If the new config fail to fix the problem, send your master.cf or try
to be more explicit.
