Well now I am even more confused. So I was doing some further testing and was getting a 454 relay access denied when trying to send mail through postfix to u...@mydomain.com. In my postfix config mydomain was set to mydomain and mydestination was set to $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain and localhost.
The default setting for relay_domains is mydestination and subdomains thereof. So since mydestination contains $myhostname which is set to hostname.$mydomain mydomain should be in that list for relay_domains. But I had to explicitly add mydomain to relay_domains. Once I did that it honored the relay_recipient_maps. I guess my understanding of the default value relay_domains takes is incorrect.
