You didn't mention the OS.  I had problems on a RH 7 or 8 system when I tried 
to change the hostname.  Nothing to do with postfix, but the old name was 
still being used by some apps.  I think one of the network config files 
somewhere under /etc still had something left over from my initial install. 
Maybe something like:

	find /etc -type f -exec grep nebula {} /dev/null \;

will turn up some files still using the old name.
