I don't have any control on the DNS zone, but even if I had (correct me if I'm
wrong), a mail sent to anyuserhost.domain.tld would be forwarded to the
relayhost (according to either the MX record or the transport directive), but
then, as host.domain.tld is not in the mydestination directive of the
relayhost, it will be resent to host.domain.tld, beginning an endless loop,
won't it? There has to be some rewriting in the process to avoid such a loop.

And moreover, on host.domain.tld, if I only list host.domain.tld in
relay_domains and not in mydestination, I'll never be able to locally receive
mail sent to scripthost.domain.tld, right?
