I still think that it's a bit ambiguous, because I was seeing
".domain.tld" as a subcase of "domain.tld" ("domain" being a
sequence of allowed characters including dots). Correct me if
I'm wrong (I haven't tested and don't know what postfix does
internally), but would changing the beginning by
domain.tld
Matches domain.tld, where "domain" may contain dots, but
must not start with a dot.
be what is really intended?
