Referring to the official manual: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#in_virtual_other The purpose of virtual_mailbox_domains is to route domains through the virtual_transport The purpose of virtual_mailbox_maps in a delivery agent other than virtual(8) is for VERIFICATION that a user exists. If it is left empty, no verification is done. The result just has to be non-empty for verification to occur. This is a possible BACKSCATTER source when left empty. The purpose of virtual_alias_maps is to reroute email REGARDLESS of its address class.
