Is it the same domain? Show logs.

Doing so was most likely useless.

The cause of your problems may very well be that you're messing with
local_recipient_maps and local_transport in this manner. There are very
few occasions where such a configuration makes any sense, and this is
most likely not one of them. You need to read up on address classes.
List local domains in mydestination.
List virtual mailbox domains in virtual_mailbox_domains.
List virtual alias domains in virtual_alias_domains.
List relay domains in relay_domains.
Unless you have a single domain that contains users in two or more of
these address classes, getting the above right is all it takes.

That doesn't make any difference as you're not using local(8) at all.

Until you show us logs we can only guess. Throw in full "postconf -n"
output while you're at it.
