postfix/smtp[299]: C0A3C9F906D0: to=<u...@example.com>,
relay=10.10.100.100[10.10.100.100]:25, delay=957, delays=950/0.02/6.4/0,
dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for 10.10.100.100 loops back to myself)

postfix produces this error when if finds mail is directed to itself, but
does not know what to do in such mail.

Domain example.com must be in mydestination in order for it to be local,
relay_domains in order to be remote etc:

http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

Since you want example.com to be routed somewhere, it apparently belongs to relay_domains,

So give Postfix a proper hostname instead of the mail domain (and
stop ignoring Postfix warning messages).

Thank you. If I may ask a question related to why I did this, would using a different myhostname not cause a problem? Both are supposed to be for example.com because they handle emails for example.com, one for receiving and one for sending. The docs do specify to use an FQDN, that's why I ignored the warning. Do I have the liberty of calling each machine whatever I want in myhostname? What's the right way to do this?

I understand this as safety measure to avoid mail loops when sending mail to server that has the same hostname as postfix.

Having different hostnames also helps tracking issues with e-mail - you can see in Received: headers where the mail went through.
