On our old server that doesn't do any Virtual Domains, we have lines in
our /etc/alias which look like the following:

I just recently set up Postfix with Virtual Domains using a MySQL
backend. All aliases which forward to another mail account work just fine.
I added the following line per the Postfix documentation to
/etc/postfix/main.cf <http://main.cf>:
virtual_transport = maildrop:
I uncommented the two lines for maildrop in /etc/postfix/master.cf
<http://master.cf> so maildrop would be available for use.
MySQL table looks like this:
address
goto domain date
created date modified active
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
us...@domain1.com <mailto:us...@domain1.com>
"|/home/users/blah/script.pl" domain1.com <http://domain1.com>

When sending an email to us...@domain.com <mailto:us...@domain.com>, I
get the following message in the error logs:

virtual aliases do not support delivery to commands; you must
rewrite the user to a domain listed in mydestination.
mydestination = localhost localhost.$mydomain
virtual_alias_maps:
us...@example.com f...@localhost
aliases file:
foo: "|/path/to/command"
