I think this is because <desktop> is not in $mydestination, but the solution is probably to find whatever is sending mail to prh@<desktop> and convince it to send to an address (prh@prhnet?) that the server already accepts mail for. You could also try to alias prh@<desktop> to something that the server is expecting.
