    That's how things are. Each machine in a domain needs to have a unique
    name.
    In case you want to be able to send a mail to user@cosmo.b-dub.org and
    postfix accept it , you have to add something like mydestination =
    $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain , $myhostname.$mydomain to
    main.cf (this is considering that myhostname = cosmo and mydomain =
    b-dub.org are set in main.cf) . So , if someone sends a mail to
    user@cosmo , user@localhost.b-dub.org , user@b-dub.org or
    user@cosmo.b-dub.org , it will always get through.
