Quoting access(5):
HOST NAME/ADDRESS PATTERNS
With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from
networked tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following
lookup patterns are examined in the order as listed:
domain.tld
Matches domain.tld.
The pattern domain.tld also matches subdomains, but only
when the string smtpd_access_maps is listed in the
Postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains configuration setting.
Otherwise, specify .domain.tld (note the initial dot)
in order to match subdomains.
