You need to show:
1 - One email address ending in localhost or localhost.$mydomain,
2 - Logfile evidence that this email address is not bounced or
delivered by the local(8) delivery agent,

$ postconf myorigin mydestination virtual_alias_domains mailbox_transport
Otherwise, I will ignore this thread.
