No, you don't want to be forging someone else's domain name.

man canonical(5).

CANONICAL(5) CANONICAL(5)
NAME
canonical - format of Postfix canonical table
DESCRIPTION
The optional canonical table specifies an address mapping for local and
nonlocal addresses. The mapping is used by the cleanup(8) daemon. The
address mapping is recursive.
-----
You could put
@desk 40119@comcast.net
in /etc/postfix/canonical_sender, (make sure the line
'sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical_sender' is in the
output of 'postconf'), and run 'postmap /etc/postfix/canonical_sender'.
Then when sending mail, the "foo@desk" addresses will be rewritten to
your real email address.

postfix doesn't run "OOB". It must be told what domains are what and
how to handle them. (ie what is local and what isn't) Correctly
telling the MTA (not just postfix) how to handle each domain is
critical for correct operation of mail.
