I avoid the need for such empty relay tables, by making all my
externally-facing domains (the domains in which users get their
primary email addresses) be virtual alias domains. All internal
delivery is to "mailbox" domains that are the result of virtual
alias rewrites:
main.cf:
virtual_alias_domains = example.com
indexed = ${default_database_type}:${config_directory}/
virtual_alias_maps = ${indexed}virtual
transport_maps = ${indexed}transport
virtual:
u...@example.com u...@mbox-domain.example.com
transport:
# Mbox domain has MX hosts:
mbox-domain.example.com mbox-domain.example.com
# Mbox domain has a gateway:
# mbox-domain.example.com [mbox-domain.example.com]
