virtual_maps has been deprecated since Postfix 2.0. It still works because it is the default value for the replacement setting, virtual_alias_maps. > from postfix virtual conf > > [sysmail01:/data/home/dunphy] root% grep request /etc/postfix/virtual > # owner_request_special > # Give special treatment to owner-xxx and xxx-request > requ...@example.com request You are using an unqualified target in virtual_alias_maps, and apparently the example.com domain is in virtual_alias_domains (by means of a domain entry in /etc/postfix/virtual, most likely.) This means that requ...@example.com is rewritten to "request@$myorigin". You have not set myorigin (you might consider doing that), so you get the default of "myorigin = $myhostname". You did set "myhostname = mail01.example.com". Where/how should mail01.example.com mail be delivered? If that is also in virtual_alias_domains, you must have a listing for requ...@mail01.example.com which resolves to an address NOT in virtual_alias_domains.
