Hi again,
I'm migrating an old mx to Postfix. This instance will be responsible for inbound-only emails for various domains. Note that every domain can have one or more domain aliases. This is my simplified config:
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/domains.cf
virtual_alias_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/domains_alias.cf
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/aliased_domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mailboxes.cf

domains.cf returns the real domains
domains_alias.cf returns the real domain of a domain alias
aliased_domains.cf is similar to domains_alias.cf but prepends an "@" before the returned domain. mailboxes.cf returns the user address if it exists. NOTE: It contains only the addresses of real domains (it doesn't contain the aliased domains)

I'm testing this configuration but there is some problem with non existing users of aliased domains. Example follows:
postfix.giopan.dev is an alias of giopan.dev.
If I try to send an email to nonexist...@giopan.dev Postfix correctly returns the error "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table".

If instead I try to send an email to nonexist...@postfix.giopan.dev Postfix accepts the email with the aliased domain, and pass it to the transport (which of course returns an error because it doesn't recognize the address) so it logs: 4ZCXGM6pdSz1Brt: to=<nonexist...@giopan.dev>, orig_to=<nonexist...@postfix.giopan.dev>, relay=x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x]:24, delay=0.16, delays=0.14/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x] said: 550 5.1.1 <nonexist...@giopan.dev> User doesn't exist: nonexist...@giopan.dev (in reply to RCPT TO command))

This generate a bounce, which is not what I expected. I thought that virtual_mailbox_maps would check the resolved address BEFORE passing the email to the transport (so that the email would not be queued and blocked in the MX at the RCPT TO command), but it seems that's not working. Reading the docs virtual_mailbox_maps is described as "Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.", both alias and real domain are present in virtual_mailbox_domains, so I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong.

If I try to "$ postmap -q nonexist...@giopan.dev mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mailboxes.cf" nothing is returned, so the query it's working as expected.

Thanks,
Gioele
