I wrote Postfix, do don't dismiss this advice.
First of all, the solutions for staff and students can be
implemented separately.
Second, the fact that one domain is a subdomain of the other is
irrelevant. Just don't use masquerade_domains. It should have
been removed years ago.
Example: domain with multiple primary MX servers
Set primary MX records to the servers that receive mail for the domain
Don't use masquerade_domains.
set mydomain = the domain, not the server
set myorigin = $mydomain
set mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname
Use virtual_alias_maps to direct mail for user@domain to
[hidden email]
(for example, LDAP based).
Example: domain with one primary MX server
Set primary MX record to the server that receives mail for the domain
Don't use masquerade_domains.
set mydomain = the domain, not the server
set myorigin = $mydomain
set mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname
