I'm sorry for taking everyone's time talking to myself.
I finally found a pointer to a blog post that said that every valid user
needs to be in the virtual file. So I just added:
al...@abc.local al...@abc.local
b...@abc.local b...@abc.local
ca...@abc.local ca...@abc.local
along with:
@abc.local j...@abc.local
And it seems to work. The lines that map addresses to themselves seems
redundant, but I can see how that keeps it from mapping to the catch-all.
I wish there was a way to specify the list just once - it would be nice
to be able to use variables in the vmailbox file.
I also wish there was a way to specify "all subdomains" in the virtual
file. I tried using @.abc.com, but it didn't work. I also tried adding
virtual_alias_maps to parent_domain_matches_subdomains, but that didn't
work either.
So if anyone knows how I can set it up to not have to list every server
in the virtual file, please let me know.
Thanks!

creates new mailboxes, even for invalid users. I tried adding a line to
the end of the virtual file (@abc.local j...@abc.local) as a catch-all,
and it catches *all* the mail, even if sent to a valid user.
