Thank Jeroen.
I have executed the postmap command against the virtual_users, when i issue
postmap -q testu...@mydomain.com /etc/postfix/virtual_users it gives me the
corresponding maildir value but when i say
postmap -q #criticalema...@mydomain.com/etc/postfix/virtual_users --- syntax
wrong
postmap -q "#criticalema...@mydomain.com"/etc/postfix/virtual_users --- no
result
postmap -q ""#criticalema...@mydomain.com""/etc/postfix/virtual_users --- no
result
Now the question boils down to how to give escape characters in this case to
query the map??
Here is my sample virtual_users fragment
"#criticalema...@mydomain.com" ms23/007/000/002/106/@mail.dir
"#criticalema...@mydomain.another.com" ms23/007/000/002/106/@mail.dir
testu...@mydomain.com ms11/007/000/002/108/@mail.dir

Yes, it is; it was buried beneath the irrelevance.
As I said before, virtual_alias_maps does not concern virtual
*mailboxes*.
