This does not match with your statement that postfix stops when it
encounters a lookup result that is identical to the lookup key. I see
the queries in mysqld's logfile - I see it getting blamydomain.com
(must be a success result), but it goes on querying for "mydomain.com",
"mydomain.com" and even "com". Does this make sense? No. I believe that
your example works, but that's like scratching your nose with your foot
instead your hand.

Thanks Magnus, I'll give it a try.
