Hi! Thanks for the very quick answer!
I obviously missed something ;) because I tried some configurations with the "parent_domain_matches_subdomains" parameter and none worked for me. The idea of the dot I got from the description of the parameter "parent_domain_matches_subdomains": parent_domain_matches_subdomains (default: see "postconf -d" output) What Postfix features match subdomains of "domain.tld" automatically, instead of requiring an explicit ".domain.tld" pattern. I inherited a server that was functioning properly and had the following parameters: relay_domains = example.com parent_domain_matches_subdomains = debug_peer_list, fast_flush_domains, mynetworks, permit_mx_backup_networks, qmqpd_authorized_clients, relay_domains, smtpd_access_maps When I installed the new server, I configured these parameters as it were in the old machine, but still not receiving emails from outside. Only when I place the dot worked. Reading carefully now(as you suggested me :) ) I realized that this will be the future behavior of postfix, so I only will keep the configuration with the dot.
