OK as it turns out I found one possible error I did not define the type data base (No hash) in my declaration of virtual_mailbox_domains since the domains worked i think that was not a major concern speaks well of the strength of postfix what I did find is that I was essential disabling the re-address by having the following in main.cf receive_override_options = no_address_mappings took that out and it works fine thanks for your help
