I have two issues that I believe are connected so I'm putting them into one
submission to the list:
ISSUE 1
====================================
I want to forward root's mail to a local user called mike. The user's email
address is m...@ascendency.net and is a legitimate user on the system, but has
a virtual mailbox. I've added that email address in /etc/aliases and run the
/usr/bin/newaliases command. The problem I'm having is that root's email gets
directed to m...@patton.ascendecny.net instead of m...@ascendency.net resulting
in the following error:
Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnostic code: smtp;554 5.7.1<m...@patton.ascendency.net>: Relay
access denied
ISSUE 2
====================================
Messages sent to aliases that should point to legitimate email address on the
server return the following error:
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1<$aliasaddr...@ascendency.net>: Recipient
address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table
I believe both of these issues are related to my configuration of relay_domains
and/or relay_recipient_maps. Please see links below to links all relevant
configuration files.

Email: m...@ascendency.net
The nature of the error messages indicates that you have your address
classes mixed up.
Mydestination holds domains that will be delivered locally.
These can be, but should not trivially be, aliased away to virtual
addresses - it is much simpler to reverse the function of the domains,
or use the proper masquerading or canonicalizing maps.
Likewise, virtual_mailbox_domains holds domains that will be delivered
to the virtual(8) delivery agent - or whatever you use as
virtual_transport instead.
Relay_domains contains domains you want to accept mail for, but which
you will always send onwards.
Now:
The problem I'm having is that root's email gets directed to
m...@patton.ascendecny.net instead of m...@ascendency.net
How does it "get directed" ?
Presumably, you aliased root to m...@patton.net.
If, instead, you aliased root to "mike" - don't do that.
You should not use unqualified addresses on the RHS of an alias, unless
you know /exactly/ what the result will be.

And:
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1<$aliasaddr...@ascendency.net>: Recipient address
rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table
This has nothing to do with aliasing; note that it thinks the address in
question is present in *relay_domains*.
Make SURE that your domains occur in only one address class; specifying
a domain in multiple classes does not work.
This may not be immediately apparent (to you or to postfix) when they
are buried in mysql maps.
(The contents of which would make this certain, instead of conjecture.)
