It will change in 2.2

It probably was on all along or at least since you noticesd you weren't
getting reminders. I forgot about that as a potential issue with
reminders. It causes the reminder for user at example.com to be sent to
user-xxx at example.com (where -xxx is -owner or whatever
umbrella_member_suffix is set to). How that gets delivered or whether
it gets delivered at all depends on the specific MTA/MDA configuration
for user at example.com.
