That is correct. virtual(8) does not expand aliases, and it does
not execute commands.
You may have success with "virtual_transport = procmail" where
procmail is defined in master.cf as:
procmail unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/procmail -a ${recipient}
But this means all mailboxes are owned by user=vmail; Postfix
will use only $virtual_mailbox_maps to reject SMTP mail for
non-existent recipients, and will not use virtual_uid_maps or
virtual_gid_maps at all.
Instead of using procmail to deliver the mail, you might want to
hook up Postfix with Dovecot or Maildrop which have filtering
abilities built in. I have no plans to duplicate their functionality
into Postfix.
