You're just not understanding the problem. "User unknown in virtual alias table" means that the DOMAIN (right-hand side after the "@") is in virtual_alias_domains, but the usern...@domain (full email address) is NOT found in virtual_alias_maps. This also occurs when the virtual_alias_maps lookup RESULT is an email address in virtual_alias_domains.

You CANNOT virtually alias to a virtual alias. The result of a virtual_alias_maps lookup must be a real mailbox or email address somewhere.

Don't bash OP too hard. He got bit by the interaction of the default value of virtual_alias_domains = $virtual_alias_maps and a static map in virtual_alias_maps. That made every domain match the virtual_alias_domains lookup.

Just a funny interaction with a seldom-used configuration.
