How does postfix define local recipients?
I'm getting this error in /var/log/maillog

 Jun 10 20:25:14 helen postfix/smtp[6867]: 9C2A081968:
 to=<gayle...@eircom.net>, orig_to=<r...@helen.gayleard.com>,
 relay=mail.eircom.net[159.134.198.135]:25, delay=8696,
 delays=8682/0.06/3.1/10, dsn=4.1.0, status=deferred 
 (host mail.eircom.net[159.134.198.135] said: 
 452 4.1.0  <r...@helen.gayleard.com>  
 MAIL FROM domain does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

Here helen.gayleard.com is the internal name of my server
(on which postfix and dovecot are running),
while mail.eircom.net is my smarthost.
The mail is from the abrt server, regarding an error in firefox.

But my question is: why is helen.gayleard.com not recognized
as a local address?
Is there some way I could "register" it as such?
 
Any and all advice gratefully received.
