Strange issue with Postfix
Here is an example of what's happening…
Jan 23 19:28:06 linode postfix/smtp[22478]: connect to yahoo.co.wa-recruitmenttracker.org[66.175.222.221]:25: Connection refused
Jan 23 19:28:06 linode postfix/smtp[22478]: B585084DC: to=<jamielynn0221@yahoo.co.wa-recruitmenttracker.org>, relay=none, delay=133795, delays=133795/0.07/0.13/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to yahoo.co.wa-recruitmenttracker.org[66.175.222.221]:25: Connection refused)</jamielynn0221@yahoo.co.wa-recruitmenttracker.org>
I was having an issue with comcast accepting email from this server, it didn't have a proper hostname, ptr, or reverse dns record. I have fixed that and we can send email to comcast now, but for some address, $mydomain get's appended to the email address.
I can't figure this out for the life of me.
Any help would be appreciated.

Then DELETE every line that starts with a #
You'll have a nice easy to read (and parse) config file instead of the mess you just posted.
