You fail to distinguish between virtual_alias_domains and
virtual_mailbox_domains. Which is it?

You can rewrite an account in a final (local, or virtual mailbox) domain
to another domain via virtual_alias_maps. Postfix will then accept mail
for the domain, and forward to the alternate mailbox.

To retain the address of the mailbox use "smtp_generic_maps" to undo
the rewrite, as described in an earlier thread today about LDAP on
MX hosts.
