 Which address class do you expect this to be?  Then you'll know where the 
domain must be listed.

This is one document you need to understand:
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

Correct, sanguine.whoi.edu isn't specifically listed in any of my

of which I have many.

Yet, DNS points to you:
sanguine.whoi.edu.      86400   IN      MX      10 obtest.whoi.edu.
obtest.whoi.edu.        86400   IN      A       128.128.64.226

You either need to accept that mail (as a relay domain, perhaps) or change the MX to point to a host that will.

sanguine.whoi.edu is simply a host that is no longer active on my network. At one point, I received email at that host via e...@sanguine.whoi.edu. Now that that's no longer an option, I set up an MX record so that mail destined for sanguine.whoi.edu is relayed to my postfix smtp server and assigned e...@sanguine.whoi.edu as an alias for my address in ldap. I want e...@sanguine.whoi.edu to continue delivery to my imap account. In fact, that happened perfectly in my previous postfix configuration. Since upgrading postfix, in order for that to continue working, I'm now hearing that I must specifically list sanguine.whoi.edu "somewhere" in my postfix configs. That's not unreasonable, but let's now extend this example to another 250 hosts that are in a similar situation. I must now specifically find, list and maintain all of 250 of those in some postfix config file and that there's no other way this will work as before? That, to me, seems rather unreasonable. Doesn't postfix have the capability to look up MX records for that purpose?
