Read the error message - currently you are configured to accept *any* message presented except those going to the specified users. That includes spam intended for completely unrelated domains. I would recommend using the following as a *bare* minimum: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_recipient_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/access I would also recommend looking at http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html and http://jimsun.linxnet.com/misc/postfix-anti-UCE.txt -- they will help you understand what should be in your smtpd_*_restrictions.
