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:

Correct, sanguine.whoi.edu isn't specifically listed in any of my
address class definitions. I'm using it for testing the MX relays,
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sanguine.whoi.edu is simply a host that is no longer active on my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?
