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 at 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 at cosmo , user at localhost.b-dub.org , user at b-dub.org or 
user at cosmo.b-dub.org , it will always get through.
