What I am becoming to realise - but which I can't find documented
anywhere is that there is a subtle difference between a map of

although the documentation tells you that virtual_mailbox_domains
defaults to virtual_mailbox_maps, it actually can't because the
former is a list of domains and the latter is a list of e-mail
addresses, and it cannot extract the domains from the e-mail addresses.
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.
I understand now. As you say, it IS confusing - I just spent the
weekend, most of yesterday evening and some time early this morning
going round in circles because I had not understood that subtle point of
one table inside the other.
Thanks for the explanation - now I see exactly what is what and can
proceed with that knowledge.
