Thanks again for your response.
As I said, my configuration seems to work fine,
but I'm still puzzled by several settings, including this one.

I have set 
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
which seems to cover everything: on my server, 
mydomain is gayleard.eu and my hostname is alfred.gayleard.ue

All the email I get contains headers like
----------------------------------------
Delivered-To: tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Received: from localhost (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) by 
alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF4C622D57 for 
<tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:15:24 +0200 (CEST)
Received: from alfred.gayleard.eu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost 
(alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) FrqMz92sTpCb for 
<tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:15:02 +0200 (CEST)
Received: from alfred.gayleard.eu (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) by 
alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 
----------------------------------------

Which of these describes where "mail is sent to"?
I actually get all my email by fetchmail from various mail servers.
None of my mail is addressed by the sender to "*.gayleard.eu".
So it seems to me these headers must be added by postfix
or possibly by fetchmail.
But if postfix has added these headers it doesn't seem to make sense
for postfix to ask if *.gayleard.eu is "mydestination".
