Do not disable it _even_ if mydestination is empty. [ip.of.server] is
always a local domain.

If local mail is not desired, then use
    local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/empty
where 'empty' is an empty file (that is postmapped of course). with
this, reject_unlisted_sender will reject mail from foo[ip.of.server]
immediately.

not necessarily. he can keep localhost and/or localhost.$mydomain if he
needs to execute commands. but $mydomain should indeed be moved out of
mydestination.

The OP should look for warnings in his logs...
