What is your primary_hostname and hosts_treat_as_local global settings, and
what is in your local_domains domainlist? You might also want to have a look
at the qualify_domain and qualify_preserve_domain settings of the redirect
router and the global qualify_domain and qualify_recipient settings.

The redirect router qualifies any unqualified local parts found in the alias
file with the first of the following:

1. The original domain, if qualify_preserve_domain is set on the router
2. the domain given by the router's qualify_domain setting,
3. the domain given by the global qualify_recipient setting,
4. the domain given by the global qualify_domain setting,
5. the primary_hostname.

Looks like your router configuration treats mydomain.com (without the host
name) as a nonlocal domain.
