I think the problem is fixed. I think it turns out that the DNS MX
record was bad. mail.example.com was set to an alias of example.com
instead of its own host entry. I changed it from an alias to its own
entry and now it works. Maybe postfix was getting a connection from
example.com instead of mail.example.com even though they are the same IP
address. I am not smart enough to understand the true reason. But
everything is working good now.
