This is documented in virtual_mailbox_domains. The key is the domain, the result can be anything. Just because you hide the domains inside a map containing full addresses does not change the lookup. When you overload virtual_mailbox_maps to also define virtual_mailbox_domains, the bare domain must be included in the map. This is a historical implementation and is no longer recommended because it's too confusing. If you want to save a lookup, list the domains directly in main.cf. Otherwise, use a separate map. -- Noel Jones
