As the answer says you should only do that when the host is not supposed to be the final destination for $mydomain. > Just as anything to @localhost should get spooled to /var/mail/, > shouldn't $mydomain similarly get spooled exactly as localhost?

Under the circumstances outlined in the post you mentioned, you don't want the server to be the final destination for $mydomain, thus you remove it from $mydestination.

Apparently your server is configured to relay mail for the domain dur.bounceme.net to mailman, which doesn't seem to be configured to accept the recipient thu...@dur.bounceme.net.
