It is in the 2.8 release notes:

Major changes - dns lookup
--------------------------

[Incompat 20100827] The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the
local domain when looking up a DNS name without ".".  Specify
"smtp_dns_resolver_options = res_defnames" to get the old behavior,
which may produce unexpected results.
