If foo is not a fully qualified domain name then Postfix will qualify the 
address with the value of $myorigin. It is possible to switch off that 
behaviour though it is definitely not recommended since it causes a lot of 
other stuff to break.

The recommended way is either to use usernames without the "@" in the 
username or to use the username and the domainname together. In that case 
you need to configure cyrus with virtdomain support as well.
