From main.cf.....concerning the mydestination parameter

# Do not specify the names of domains that this machine is backup MX
# host for. Specify those names via the relay_domains settings for
# the SMTP server, or use permit_mx_backup if you are lazy (see
# STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README).

This really isn't a FreeBSD question, it's a postfix question.  Please 
seek out further help from the appropriate postfix mailing lists.
