Look at the "append_at_myorigin" setting in main.cf. It is set to "yes" 
by default and therefore will append the domain name set in "myorigin" 
to bare usernames. Try to set this to "no" and see if local delivery 
works that way.

I doubt that it's a good idea to make the system believe that it's part 
of the ISPs domain (myhostname/myorigin/mydomain settings), but as I 
said before, I don't have any serious experience with Postfix dialup 
configurations.
