Yes, but the problem seems to be that the address is rewritten to
uid@mail.server before the transport maps comes into play.
If mail.server is the "wrong" server (i.e. the name of an internal
server for users that deliver elsewhere) then that is the problem.
The transport map solution is for the case that the address is not
mutilated.
Indeed. Will start tomorrow to sketch a rework of the system so that
the rewrite is done where it should.
Thank you both for your input.
