This is usually where I switch to REs because they have exactly this 
capability already.

"^(.+\.)?" is parent_domain_matches_subdomains but on a per-rule basis.

# postmap -q foo pcre:'{{/^(.+\.)?foo$/ match}}'
match
# postmap -q barfoo pcre:'{{/^(.+\.)?foo$/ match}}'
# postmap -q bar.foo pcre:'{{/^(.+\.)?foo$/ match}}'
match
