mydestination, virtual_mailbox_domains are preferred for final
delivery. Here. Postfix is the final MTA. Example: postfix->dovecot.
relay_domains is preferred for transit mail. Here, Postfix is not
the final MTA. Example: postfix->exchange.
Under the covers it is all bits and you can hook up Dovecot or Exchange
in any address class, virtual, relay, whatever.
