I agree. I had the same question some years ago, until it was
explained to me.
The only documentation I know of is
postconf.5.html#parent_domain_matches_subdomains and
postconf.5.html#relay_domains :
relay_domains (default: $mydestination)
What destination domains (and subdomains thereof) this system
will relay mail to. Subdomain matching is controlled with the
parent_domain_matches_subdomains parameter.
