Postfix will never search for ".example.com" domains in the
$mydestination list, so this change has no effect. Perhaps in making
this change you also triggered other changes that solved the problem.
Now, in fact, if you don't set "relay_domains" explicitly, as a matter
of regrettable backwards compatibility requirements, the value of
$relay_domains defaults to to "$mydestination" and in the context of
"$relay_domains", ".example.com" keys do come into play given an
appropriate setting of parent_domain_matches_subdomains.
The right solution is to set relay_domains explicitly and correctly,
rather than rely on side-effects from $mydestination.
Secondly, it appears that you have changed the default value of
parent_domain_matches_subdomains. You should review this parameter
and make sure you understand its impact.
