Do you really want to make it difficult for people to help you?

UNDELIVERABLE MAIL
Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:
<UNKNOWN_USER@CORRECT_DOMAIN>: <<< 550 User unknown.

Of the three common possibilities that I mentioned before, that looks an awful lot like the sort of thing that you'd see from a backup MX that doesn't check users. Is it?
If so, I recommend dropping the backup MX. They're not useful, and they cause this exact problem, among others.
If you insist on a backup mx, set up your domain as a "hosteddomain" and write a script that builds a list of all of the valid recipients of that domain and converts it into an alias file, directing mail to the primary MX.

UNDELIVERABLE MAIL
Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:
<KNOWN_USER@CORRECT_DOMAIN>: <<< Mail loop - already have my Delivered-To: header.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's an entirely different issue, and as Marcin pointed out, more difficult to solve. I see those from time to time, but they're pretty rare. I expect that the former messages make up the bulk of the deliveries to your postmaster account.
