I'm moving an existing domain to virtual mailboxes. All the info is

virtual_alias_maps and virtual_mailbox_domains stored in the sql
backend.
Problem is that aliases that pipe to a command and aren't delivered
anywhere
- this is most common for mailing list software like mailman and
smartlist. Dropping the piped command into the destination side
of an
alias map results in a bounce mail, and the logs show an unknown
user
error. The current workaround that I'm using is to alias to another
alias in /etc/aliases (obviously a flat file, not an sql backend)
which
is aliased to the pipe.
You cannot pipe to programs from virtual alias maps; use local
aliases
as you currently do, or route to an address that resolves (via
transport_maps) to a pipe transport.
See also examples in http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html
for delivery to command.

Ugh, that's what I get for reading everything very closely up to the
point I need, instead of the whole page, where I miss the gigantic
section at the bottom that talks about this issue. Whoops.
