How can i stop postfix from delivering mail to the recipient mentioned

You can't. That's who the sender intended it to go to.
If the reason you want to block that mail is because it's spam, then that's
a valid concern. But it's also a different issue, entirely unrelated to how
Postfix (or any other MTA) routes mail.
Yes, but i cannot explain myself how did i received a message that has
the sender address someth...@gmail.com and the same as the
destination address (also someth...@gmail.com).
How can i dig down deeper and figure this out?
The "To:" address is not the destination address. The destination
address is the envelope address.
In many cases, particularly when sending mail between two individuals,
the To address and the envelope address are the same. But they are not
necessarily so.
Look at the headers of this email. Note that the To address is the
address of the list. But you have still received it. That's because the
list software remailed it to you, with your address in the envelope, but
keeping the original address in the To line.
In your example, someone sent you a mail with your address in the
envelope, but their own address in the To line. That's easy to do with
almost any email software. There is nothing special about it at all.
