Thanks very much for your help and suggestions. All are very
useful. One question: If I read the access(5) man page
correctly, I only need parent_domain_matches_subdomains
if I want a domain _without_ a leading period to match
subdomains. Here's the relevant text from the postfix
website:

This seems to indicate that, with the initial dot, it
will automatically match subdomains but without the initial
dot I must also specify parent_domain_matches_subdomains
if I want subdomains to match. Thus by specifying the
entry as .biz.rr.com I was expecting it to match
subdomains without needin parent_domain_matches_subdomains
Am I reading this incorrectly?
