There's no need to duplicate the users in transport; all the mappings should be in virtual_alias_maps. Assuming the MX for hostA.example.com points to the right place, there is no need for any transport entries. If I read your example above correctly, you would use # virtual normalu...@example.com normalu...@hosta.example.com aliasu...@example.com normalu...@hosta.example.com ie. all valid *@example.com addresses are listed in virtual and mapped to the correct physical server. The virtual list is shared among all servers. Each server has a separate list of its own local users. -- Noel Jones
