The line above is what tells the secondary to BE a secondary for that domain. Without 
it, non-local users could not send mail to your domain via the "secondary" MX. Go 
ahead and try it; send mail to an account at 3-rivers.com through the "secondary" 
server from an address that is not trusted by that server. See what happens.

It sounds to me like the secondary is a trusted client host of the primary server. If 
it's trusted, then naturally it will be allowed to send mail to any domain.

Only remove the secondary as a client host from the primary. Leave the router line in 
the secondary's router.

Have you tried it WITH the router line on the secondary but without the secondary as a 
trusted host?
